Peterson allowed one run on two hits and a walk across 4.2 innings in the win over Washington in Game 1 of Saturday's doubleheader. He struck out six and did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't the most efficient outing from Peterson, as the left-hander threw 94 pitches (54 strikes) while failing to get through the fifth inning, ultimately leaving him ineligible to pick up his third win. Nonetheless, his outing was far from disastrous, especially considering that it came in a seven-inning game in which the bullpen needed to work only 2.1 frames. Peterson currently lines up to take the ball for one of the two games in next Friday's doubleheader against the Phillies.

Peterson (2-5) picked up the win Monday, allowing one hit and two walks over six scoreless innings in a 5-2 victory over the Cubs. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
The southpaw threw 43 of 73 pitches for strikes as he put together his fifth quality start of the season. Peterson had coughed up nine runs in only three innings over his last two outings, however, and he'll need to find some consistency before he'll be anything more than a DFS dart throw. He'll carry a 5.60 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 56:23 K:BB through 53 innings into his next start.

Peterson (1-5) took the loss Tuesday at Baltimore after giving up four runs on eight hits with four strikeouts and a walk over 2.2 innings.
EDGE Analysis
The left-hander delivered a scoreless opening frame but ended up requiring 69 pitches to record only eight total outs. The 25-year-old recorded only a single out in his previous start, and he's now failed to cover four frames in four of 11 starts this season. According to Anthony DiComo of MLB.com, manager Luis Rojas said Peterson will remain in the rotation for at least one more turn despite his recent struggles, and that start tentatively lines up for early next week against the Cubs.

Peterson gave up five runs on three hits and three walks in one-third of an inning Wednesday versus Arizona. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
It was a nightmarish start for the southpaw, who wasted the Mets' four-run burst of offense in the first inning. Peterson's two shortest appearances of the season have been against Arizona -- he lasted only 1.2 innings May 7. He now owns a 5.89 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 49:20 K:BB through 44.1 innings this year. Peterson projects for a start versus Baltimore next week.

Peterson won't start Saturday against Atlanta as previously scheduled following the postponement of Friday's contest, Anthony DiComo of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Friday's starter Taijuan Walker (side) will be pushed back to start Saturday, and the Mets have yet to decide whether Jacob deGrom will start as scheduled Sunday or also be pushed back. If deGrom remains on turn, Peterson is poised to take the mound Monday at Arizona.

Peterson (1-4) took the loss Monday, giving up three runs on five hits and three walks over six innings as the Mets fell 3-2 to the Rockies. He struck out three.
EDGE Analysis
Solo shots by Ryan McMahon and Elias Diaz in the second inning hurt, but it was the run Colorado pushed across in the fourth that proved decisive. Peterson did deliver his fourth quality start of the season, and he'll take a 4.91 ERA and 49:17 K:BB through 44 innings into his next outing.

Peterson allowed three runs on five hits and a walk with five strikeouts in 4.2 innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Wednesday. He also hit a batter.
EDGE Analysis
Peterson cruised through four innings, but ran into trouble in the fifth, where he allowed four of his hits and the hit-by-pitch. That led to three runs for Atlanta, but the Mets' offense got their starter off the hook in the seventh. Peterson has a 4.97 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 46:14 K:BB across 38 innings this season. The southpaw lines up to face Colorado next week.

Peterson allowed two runs on four hits and two walks with nine strikeouts in 7.1 innings Friday versus Tampa Bay. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Peterson was strong over seven innings, but he ran out of steam in the eighth. He allowed a solo home run to Mike Zunino, then let Kevin Padlo aboard with a double. Reliever Trevor May allowed the inherited runner to score, denying Peterson a decision. The 25-year-old lowered his ERA to 4.86 after his longest start of the year. He's added a 1.26 WHIP and 41:13 K:BB in 33.1 innings. Peterson lines up to face Atlanta next week.

Peterson didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 5-4 extra-inning win over the Diamondbacks, giving up three runs on three hits and three walks over 1.2 innings while striking out three.
EDGE Analysis
After a scoreless first inning, the southpaw's control deserted him in the second as the final four batters he faced all reached base via a walk or a hit by pitch. Peterson has issued multiple free passes in four straight starts and five of six this season, and he'll carry a 5.54 ERA and 32:11 K:BB through 26 innings into his next outing.

Peterson allowed one earned run on four hits and two walks while striking out eight across five innings in the win over the Phillies on Sunday. He did not factor in the decision.
EDGE Analysis
Peterson's only run allowed was a leadoff solo home run by Andrew McCutchen to start the game. After that, Peterson settled in to record more strikeouts (8) than hits (3) and walks (2) combined. Despite having three starts allowing two or less runs, he only has one win this season. The 25-year-old has a 4.81 ERA and has surrendered a team-high five home runs in 24.1 innings.
