Peterson didn't factor into the decision in the opening game of Thursday's doubleheader with the Orioles, allowing one run on five hits over seven innings. He struck out six.
Peterson was excellent Thursday, holding the O's scoreless through his first seven innings. However, he'd depart after allowing a leadoff single in the eighth to Colton Cowser, who'd ultimately score the tying run after the Mets turned to the bullpen. The 29-year-old Peterson has allowed just two earned runs over 13.2 innings in his last two starts after giving up 10 runs across 8.2 innings in his previous two outings. Overall, the left-hander is 6-4 with a 3.06 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 93:37 K:BB through 18 starts (109 innings) this season.

Mets' David Peterson: Gives up five runs in loss
Rotowire
Peterson (5-4) took the loss against the Pirates on Friday, allowing five runs on seven hits and three walks while striking out five across 4.2 innings.
Peterson yielded four of his five runs in the second inning, with the Pirates driving in runs in four consecutive plate appearances, and he didn't get enough run support to escape with the no-decision. Peterson strung together seven quality starts in eight outings after the beginning of May, but he has given up five earned runs in back-to-back appearances, which has inflated his numbers to a 3.30 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 83:34 K:BB across 95.1 innings. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, which is lined up for next week at home against the Brewers.
Peterson (5-3) took the loss Sunday against Philadelphia, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks over four innings. He struck out four.
Peterson hadn't allowed a home run in his past six starts, but he yielded a pair of round trippers Sunday. Both homers came in the fourth frame on a solo shot from Kyle Schwarber and a three-run homer from Edmundo Sosa. Peterson's loss was his first since May 6. On the year, Peterson owns a 2.98 ERA to go along with a 78:31 K:BB across 90.2 innings.
Peterson did not factor in the decision during Tuesday's loss against Atlanta. He allowed three runs on five hits and three walks while striking out three over seven-plus innings.
Peterson gave up one run through seven frames and came out for the eighth inning. He put two runners on base without recording an out and was charged with both runs after Marcell Ozuna's three-run double. Peterson has given up three or fewer runs in seven straight outings, turning in six quality starts during that stretch. His 2.23 ERA over that seven-start span has lowered his season mark to 2.60 across 86.2 frames. Peterson's next outing is lined up to be in Philadelphia this weekend.

Peterson was brilliant in his first career shutout, keeping Washington off balance with a staggering 13 groundouts while also producing his first scoreless start of the season altogether. It was also just the fourth time this year that the 29-year-old left-hander didn't lend a free pass, and he's now hurled at least six frames in six of his last seven outings. Peterson sports a 2.49 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 71:25 K:BB across 79.2 innings, and he's scheduled to toe the slab in a tough road matchup against Atlanta next week.
