NEW YORK -- Attempting to avoid elimination against the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NLCS on Friday, the New York Mets will turn to lefty David Peterson for Game 5, manager Carlos Mendoza announced after the team's Game 4 10-2 loss Thursday.
Peterson, 29, will be making his first start of the postseason after four relief appearances, including 2 1/3 innings in Game 1 of the series on Sunday.
The Dodgers lead the best-of-seven series, three games to one.
"Facing an elimination game, he's fully rested," Mendoza said after the 10-2 loss on Thursday.
