David Peterson surrendered five runs (four earned) in four innings of work in a loss to the Phillies on Sunday night.

Peterson walked back-to-back batters to start the game, which set the tone for the evening. The southpaw ran a ton of deep counts and it ultimately cost him. His biggest downfall was a three-run homer off the bat of Kyle Schwarber in the second inning. Peterson struck out five and walked four in the loss and now holds a 6.09 ERA on the year. He didn’t exactly make the case to get more starts in the near future, but the Mets aren’t exactly overflowing with options at the moment.
