Mets' David Peterson Earns First All-Star Nod Despite Bullpen Spoiling Stellar Outing

New York Mets left-hander David Peterson received his first career All-Star selection on Thursday, named to the National League roster as a replacement for Robbie Ray. Peterson, now the fourth Mets All-Star this season, holds a 6-4 record with a 3.06 ERA over 18 starts. Despite a strong performance in Game 1 of Thursday's doubleheader against the Orioles, where he limited them to one run into the eighth inning, his excellent outing was unfortunately spoiled when the Mets bullpen, including Ryne Stanek, failed to protect the lead, resulting in a 3-1 loss.
