Peterson (10-3) earned the win Sunday, allowing one hit and three walks over seven scoreless innings against the Brewers. He struck out eight.
Peterson saved his best performance for when the Mets needed it most, allowing just a first-inning infield single to Jackson Chourio en route to his second scoreless effort of the year. The eight strikeouts matched his second-highest total of the season, while he dropped his ERA to an impressive 2.90 over 21 starts spanning 121 innings. The Mets still have work to do to make it to the postseason, but should they advance following Monday's doubleheader with Atlanta, Peterson would be required to work on short rest if he were to make an appearance in the Wild Card Round.
