With the Mets’ choices for starting pitchers slowly diminishing, rookie David Peterson continues to prove that he’s one of their best options. Peterson’s excellent outing on Thursday clinching a win against the Nationals solidified that notion, as the pitcher only allowed one unearned run over five innings pitched. Peterson started the game showing some signs of struggle, falling behind...

Two consecutive losses unleashed a wave of concern, and although a bit warranted, the bats and bullpen bounced back with a vengeance confirming that the Mickey Callaway Mets are really that good....

The blemish on his line came in the next at-bat, though, as the lefty allowed a three-run homer to Ryan Zimmerman to give the Nationals a 3-0 lead. However, the...

Staked to a 6-1 lead, Jacob deGrom had the Nationals in the palm of his gifted right hand. Riding high on his seven-frame gem of an...

Just go right after them. That was my mentality the whole game and...
