The New York Mets are now one win away from a four-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies, thanks to the lights-out pitching performance of Colorado’s own, David Peterson.
The left-hander from Aurora’s Regis Jesuit High School tossed six shutout innings, spacing four hits, walking zero and striking out seven. Today was the seventh start of 2022 that Peterson struck out at least seven batters (16 total starts).
One single opposing batter made it into scoring position against him. This was impressive — especially for a guy flipping between Triple-A and the big leagues.
