David Peterson to Close Mets' Opening Series Post-All-Star Break

David Peterson is slated to start Sunday's series finale for the Mets against the Reds, following a strong finish to the first half of the season. The veteran southpaw had a positive stretch before the All-Star break, including seven innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts against the Orioles on July 10, and 6.2 one-run innings against the Brewers a week prior. Peterson aims to continue his solid performance into the second half, completing the Mets' initial rotation sequence.
