Peterson didn't factor into the decision Thursday after allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out six in seven innings of work during a 6-5 loss to the Dodgers.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson continued his hot recent stretch this season, tossing seven more quality innings against one of the league's more dangerous lineups. He's started two games against the Dodgers now and they have been the two longest starts of the southpaw's season. The 29-year-old has thrown at least six innings in five of his last six starts, and hasn't allowed more than three earned runs in any of them, sporting a 2.58 ERA over that timeframe. Peterson is next slated to start at home against the Nationals next Wednesday.

Peterson (4-2) earned the win against the Rockies on Friday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out five across 5.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson faced the minimum number of batters in two of the first five innings of Friday's game. He was brought back out for the sixth, but he was lifted after yielding an RBI double to Ryan McMahon. Peterson was one out shy from what would have been his fifth-straight quality start (and seventh of the season), but he received enough run support to come away with the win. The 29-year-old southpaw hasn't given up more than three earned runs in any of his 11 starts this season, and his 2.69 ERA (across 63.2 innings) is sixth best among qualified starters in the National League this season. He is slated to make his next start on the road against the Dodgers next week.

Peterson (3-2) earned the victory over the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out seven batters over 7.2 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson fell behind 2-0 in the second inning but didn't give up another run for the remainder of his outing. The southpaw completed a season-high 7.2 frames (in fact, this was the first time all year he's pitched more than six innings) and recorded his fourth straight quality start. Peterson's past two outings have been particularly impressive given the quality of opponent -- he's yielded just three earned runs over 13.2 frames versus the Yankees and Dodgers. The veteran hurler has been a key part of the Mets' rotation this year, posting a 2.79 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 54:22 K:BB through 58 innings. Peterson's next start is projected to be much less intimidating on paper than his past two, as he's lined up to face the Rockies at home next weekend.

Peterson didn't factor into the decision during Sunday's loss to the Yankees, allowing two runs (one earned) on three hits and four walks across six innings. He struck out four.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson started slowly, with leadoff hitter Paul Goldschmidt reaching on a throwing error in the first inning before back-to-back doubles by Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger yielded a pair of runs. The 29-year-old southpaw kept the Yankees from adding any more runs, but his efforts weren't enough to land a victory. Peterson has now logged three consecutive quality starts, though he's walked 11 batters in 18.0 innings during that stretch. On the year, Peterson has a 2.86 ERA over 50.1 innings. He's lined up to face the Dodgers next weekend.

Peterson did not factor into the decision Monday against the Pirates, allowing two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out seven across six innings.

EDGE Analysis

After giving up a solo homer to Isiah Kiner-Falefa in the second inning, Peterson was able to rebound by retiring the next 10 batters he faced (including four strikeouts) before being tagged for a second run in the seventh frame. Peterson was able to generate 17 whiffs on 100 pitches (67 strikes) en route to his second straight quality start and fourth of the season. He has a 3.05 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 43:16 K:BB across 44.1 innings and is slated to take on the Yankees on the road this weekend.

Peterson (2-2) took the loss Tuesday versus the Diamondbacks, allowing four runs on five hits and four walks while striking out six over six innings.

EDGE Analysis

The Mets got on the board first, but Peterson allowed two runs in the fourth inning and a two-run home run to Lourdes Gurriel in the sixth. While Peterson was able to complete six innings for the third time this season, the four runs allowed were a season high. He also yielded a homer for the first time since his season debut March 31 versus the Marlins. The southpaw has a 3.52 ERA across 38.1 innings, and he's added a 1.38 WHIP and 36:13 K:BB. He is tentatively projected to make his next start in a favorable matchup at home versus the Pirates.

Peterson (2-1) got the win over the Diamondbacks on Tuesday, allowing one run on five hits while striking out two over five innings. He did not walk a batter.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson got through four scoreless before the Diamondbacks finally pushed across a run with two singles and a double in the fifth. He did not come back out for the sixth despite being at 85 pitches and the Mets holding an 8-1 lead and hasn't reached six innings in any of his last three starts. Peterson's had two outings with nine strikeouts already this season but has combined to punch out only four in his last two starts. On a positive note, he has one walk over his last four outings and hasn't allowed more than three runs in a start thus far. He'll aim to beat the Diamondbacks twice in the span of a week when the Mets travel to face them Monday.

Peterson didn't factor into the decision Wednesday against the Phillies, allowing two runs on eight hits and a walk across 5.1 innings. He struck out two.

EDGE Analysis

The eight hits allowed by Peterson marked a season high, though none went for extra bases, allowing the left-hander to mitigate the damage. Peterson's now allowed at least seven hits in his last three outings, though he's issued just one walk in that span (16.2 innings). His ERA now sits at 3.29 on the year with a 1.43 WHIP and 28:9 K:BB across five starts (27.1 innings). Peterson is currently scheduled to face the Diamondbacks at home in his next outing.

Peterson didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Cardinals after allowing three runs on seven hits and no walks in 5.1 innings. He struck out nine.

EDGE Analysis

The nine punchouts matched a season high, and just one of Peterson's nine hits allowed went for extra bases. The left-hander has upped his strikeout rate a bit to begin the season, fanning 26 over 22 innings, and he should maintain a rotation spot as long as Sean Manaea (oblique), Frankie Montas (lat) and Paul Blackburn (knee) are each on the shelf. Peterson has a serviceable 3.27 ERA and 1.36 WHIP across four starts, but he's in line for a difficult assignment in next week's scheduled outing against the Phillies.

Peterson (1-1) took the loss Saturday against the Athletics, allowing two runs on seven hits while striking out five across six innings. He did not issue a walk.

EDGE Analysis

Peterson started out strong by retiring eight of the first nine batters he faced, but he ran into trouble in the fourth inning when he gave up four hits and two runs. He was able to recover to get through the next two innings without issue and finished his outing tossing 89 pitches (66 strikes), with 19 first-pitch strikes and eight whiffs, though the 29-year-old southpaw did not receive enough run support from his teammates to avoid the loss. Peterson has had a strong start to the season, registering a 2.70 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 17:8 K:BB across 16.2 innings. He's tentatively slated to face off against the Cardinals at home next week.
