Tim Peterson’s season was an unfortunate tale of two months: a great June and an awful July that ultimately defined his year with the Mets. Peterson, a 20th round draft pick by the Mets in 2012 from the University of Kentucky, was recalled from Triple-A Las Vegas on May 30 after posting a 3.58 ERA with 40 strikeouts over 27.2 innings.
Peterson made his major league debut on May 30 in a 4-1 win against the Atlanta Braves, pitching two innings and giving up just one run on one hit: a Johan Camargo solo home run.
