The Mets finished off a series win over the Rockies with a 2-0 triumph on Sunday afternoon thanks in large part to Taijuan Walker’s seven shutout innings.

David Peterson (1-0, 1.89 ERA) has been summoned from Triple-A Syracuse to make today’s start against Alex Cobb (3-1, 5.61 ERA). First pitch is set for 9:45 pm EST.
