The Mets’ rotation is close to being (mostly) whole, which is especially significant because David Peterson does not look particularly close to being the valuable arm he was last year.
Peterson was pounded by the Nationals — an offense that entered scoring the fifth-fewest runs in MLB —which might have been the lefty’s last major league chance for a while.
“He’s been inconsistent with his command,” manager Buck Showalter said of the 27-year-old, who only has reached six innings in one start this season. “A lot of balls in the middle of the plate, and major league hitters are going to hit those pitches.“You keep thinking he’s getting ready to find his stuff and give you five or six innings, and it just has never happened for him.”
In the fourth, the defense could not help out Peterson, who watched Dominic Smith score from third because Francisco Alvarez’s throw to second on a successful steal attempt escaped into center field.
