Two Colorado lefties squared off in front of a packed house in Queens Saturday night in what turned out to be a sweet pitcher’s duel.
In the end, the Mets’ David Peterson, the distinguished alumnus of Regis Jesuit High, bested the Rockies’ Kyle Freeland, the pride of Thomas Jefferson.
Peterson blanked the Rockies for six innings, giving up just four hits, striking out seven and walking none in the Mets’ 3-0 victory at Citi Field.
New York, winners of 15 of their last 17 games at Citi Field, improved to 43-19 at home, while the Rockies cemented their hold on the worst road record in the majors (18-42).
