The Mets scored just two runs in their series finale with the Blue Jays this afternoon at Citi Field, but thanks to another fantastic performance by their pitching staff, they completed a three-game sweep of Toronto with a 2-1 win.
David Peterson got the start and threw four-and-two-thirds innings with three strikeouts, five walks, and one run allowed. It very well could’ve been more runs, though, as the Mets made a curious decision to let Peterson continue pitching in the fifth inning when he grimaced with some sort of discomfort.
A visit from the training staff and manager Carlos Mendoza resulted in Peterson being left in the game, even though he was already fading before the injury concern.
