"Had it not been for a Carson Benge stumble in the outfield, David Peterson would have put forth four scoreless frames in relief during Monday night's 4-2 victory over the Colorado Rockies."
"In three outings as a reliever (11 innings), he has a 2.45 ERA and a strikeouts-to-walk ratio of nine compared to just two as a starter."
"These splits are not necessarily new for Peterson. He owns a career 2.41 regular-season ERA as a reliever and was a stalwart out of the bullpen during the Mets' run to the NLCS in 2024."
"It's easy [to think of Peterson as a reliever] because of three outings now where he's been really, really good, Mendoza said."
David Peterson delivered an impressive performance in relief, striking out six and allowing no runs in a 4-2 victory over the Rockies. He has thrived in a piggyback role, showcasing a 2.45 ERA as a reliever compared to an 8.10 ERA as a starter. Despite his success, manager Carlos Mendoza keeps him on the edge of the starting rotation due to team needs. The Mets have established starters, but uncertainty remains in the bottom two slots of the rotation, complicating Peterson's role.
