Following the Mets’ loss in Baltimore last night, manager Luis Rojas said that David Peterson would make his next start at the major league level. Anyone who’s seen Peterson pitch this season, especially lately, couldn’t be blamed for thinking that might not be the case.
In this particular game, Peterson labored through two-and-two-thirds innings, allowing four runs on eight hits with four strikeouts and a walk on 69 pitches, and he now has a 6.32 ERA on the season. As short as the outing was, it was quite a bit longer than his previous start, which came in Arizona and saw him surrender five runs while recording just one out before the Mets went to the bullpen.
Padres left-hander Blake Snell lost a no-hit bid Friday night with no outs in the seventh inning when New York Mets star Francisco Lindor lined a clean single to left field. Outfielder Tommy Pham misplayed the ball, allowing Lindor to reach third on a two-base error. Snell pitched into the seventh inning for the first time this season.
SAN DIEGO (AP) â Blake Snell took a no-hitter into the seventh inning, Manny Machado hit an early homer and the San Diego Padres beat the New York Mets 2-0 Friday night.
Snell (2-2) struck out 10 and pitched into the seventh inning for the first time this season. Francisco Lindor ended his no-hit bid with a single leading off the seventh â a ball left fielder Tommy Pham misplayed for a two-base error.
The left-handed Snell got three straight outs, including two strikeouts, to strand Lindor at third.
The 2018 AL Cy Young Award winner with Tampa Bay had a 5.55 ERA in his first season with San Diego prior to Friday, but he showed excellent control and mixed his offspeed well to keep New York off balanced. He threw a season-high 101 pitches and walked one.
