David Peterson Struggles in Short Outing as Mets Rotation Woes Continue

Mets southpaw David Peterson allowed six earned runs in just 3.1 innings during Wednesday's 11-6 loss to the Braves, marking his shortest start since August 2023. Peterson issued four walks and two hits in a nine-run fourth inning, losing the strike zone and getting pulled for Reed Garrett. This performance contributes to a frustrating trend where Mets starters have consistently failed to pitch five innings.
