For the third time in as many nights, the Mets made it very clear that they are playing in a different tier than the Rockies. This time, four Mets pitchers combined to shut out Colorado, and the Mets won the game 3-0 in the end.
David Peterson went six innings, struck out seven, didn’t walk anyone, and gave up just four hits. He now has a 3.21 ERA on the season. Seth Lugo, Trevor May, and Adam Ottavino each threw a scoreless inning in relief of Peterson to finish off the shutout.
At the plate, the Mets took the lead immediately, as Brandon Nimmo hit a solo home run to start the bottom of the first.
