Good Morning, Mets fans!

Mets rookie David Peterson (4-1, 3.03 ERA) is on the mound to face former Mets RHP Zack Wheeler (4-0, 2.20 ERA) for this afternoon’s game against the Phillies. 

Peterson’s last outing was out of the bullpen where he had four stellar scoreless innings. Now that Gsellman has been moved back to the bullpen, Peterson has further solidified his spot as a starting pitcher. 

The first pitch will be at 1:10 p.m EST and can be viewed on SNY WCBS 880.
