David Peterson of the Mets delivered a quality start against the Atlanta Braves, allowing three runs over seven innings, but the team lost 5-4 in 10 innings, marking their fourth consecutive defeat. Despite Peterson’s effective performance, which included three strikeouts and just 93 pitches, he couldn’t secure the win as Reed Garrett gave up a game-tying double in the eighth inning. Manager Carlos Mendoza praised Peterson’s efficiency and ability to attack hitters early, while Peterson acknowledged the challenges of baseball, emphasizing the need to focus on the next game.
