SNY analyst John Harper had high praise for New York Mets lefty David Peterson after his strong outing on Wednesday.

David Peterson walked off the mound with a quiet intensity, no visible outburst, no dramatic gestures. The post “He Was Pissed” – Mets Manager Sheds Light on David Peterson’s Rare Side After Dominant Night vs Nationals appeared first on EssentiallySports.

David Peterson emerged as the pivotal force behind the New York Mets' triumph over the Washington Nationals in the second game of their MLB regular-season series. His performance was instrumental in securing the victory.

Its Wednesday, June 11 and the Nationals (30-36) are in Queens to take on the Mets (43-24). Jake Irvin is slated to take the mound for Washington against David Peterson for New York. Jeff McNeil drove in the winning run in the bottom of the tenth inning last night to secure a 5-4 win for New York.

The Washington Nationals learned about the resiliency of the New York Mets during a series between the teams in April. After losing two of the first three contests in that four-game set, the Mets routed the Nationals 19-5 in the finale.

Even the most optimistic of New York Mets fans could not have anticipated how well the team's starting rotation has performed this season. All five of the Mets starters have an ERA below the league average without missing a turn of the rotation.

The Mets have the best record in the National League with several key members set to return. Soon, the front office must make some tough decisions.

BOTTOM LINE: The Washington Nationals, on a three-game losing streak, take on the New York Mets. New York is 25-7 at home and 43-24 overall. Mets hitters have a collective .331 on-base percentage, the third-ranked percentage in the NL.
