The goal of every Major League starting pitcher is earning the right to get the ball every fifth day.
This week, former Oregon all-American David Peterson will be able to say he's done just that with the New York Mets.
Five days after beating the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park in his big-league debut, Peterson will make a second start for the Mets on Sunday. Peterson is scheduled to take the mound against the Atlanta Braves, in a game televised by TBS at 10:10 a.m. PT.
"It's a huge honor," Peterson said of earning the right to make another start.
