San Francisco – David Peterson came across more traffic than the Bay Bridge on rush hour, but was resourceful on Saturday evening to record outs when the mets they needed.
There was constant pressure on the left -handed. And whether he needed a doubles or strikeout, the result followed.
The Escape Act by Peterson lasted six innings, long enough for the Mets to gather and win their sixth consecutive, 2-1 over the Giants in Oracle Park.
The Mets, who remained half a game for the Phillies for the first place in the NL East, shoot on Sunday for a second straight series sweep. With a victory, the METS would match their longest winning series of the season.
Peterson allowed 11 basic runners about his six innings, but only provided one point. It was the 13th time this season that Peterson lasted at least six innings. Mets Starters generally only threw at least six innings in 105 games only 31 times.
Peterson, who threw 91 throws, reduced his ERA to 2.83 with a fourth consecutive start in which he lasted at least six innings and allowed one or no earned points. All eight of the hits he allowed this night were singles.
“It is the same mentality in terms of attacks,” Peterson said about pitching with runners on the base all night. “But I think it’s just aware of the situation, knowing what the scenario is and what your work is with the man on the record.”
Edwin Díaz officially got the salvation, but the glove from Pete Alonso was just as worth the designation.
Alonso turned out to hang Patrick Bailey’s Line Drive for the final with the tire run on the second base in the ninth. It completed a second consecutive excellent defensive match for Alonso, scooping balls from the dirt and preventing errors of the Infielers.
“To be able to end the game properly, there is great,” said Alonso. “I know that our pitchers have absolutely done phenomenal work, but I am just very happy that I could contribute there.”
The most important Mets-Hit was supplied by Mark Vientos, who stroked a two-run double in the sixth to erase the team’s 1-0 shortage. In general, the Mets only went 2-out-11 with runners in a score position.
The Mets did not load the bases with anyone in the fourth against Robbie Ray, but did not score: Vientos spread before Francisco Alvarez De Graniged in an end-of-end doubles. Alonso hit a single of the inning and Starling Marte doubled him to third place before Brett Baty’s Infield Roller turned to first base (who could easily have been ruled a mistake) into a single, with Alonso Holding.
Peterson allowed successive singles to Willy Adames and Matt Chapman to start at the bottom of the frame and a one-out walk to Casey Schmitt loaded the bases. Jung Hoo Lee’s subsequent RBI Fielder’s Choice gave the Giants a 1-0 lead, but Peterson escaped without further damage.
“That just limits that to one [run] And keeping us where we were, was huge, “Peterson said.
Two innings earlier Peterson Matos left grounds on an inning ending doubles after Wilmer Flores and Lee each hit the inning. Peterson also received a collection of ending double game in the first: Chapman hit a line drive that held Vientos and threw to the second, and took Rafael Devers from the base. Baty scooped Vientos’ throw of the dirt to complete the game.
In the fifth, Peterson eliminated three batters – including Chapman to end the collection after the single from Heliot Ramos and a walk to Adames.
Juan Soto ran leading from the sixth and stable second-the 26th consecutive successful attempt by the Mets, the longest such streak this season in MLB and Marte ran before Vientos gave a two-run double that gave the Mets a 2-1 lead.
Peterson caught a break in the sixth when the slow flores was thrown away to start the inning to stretch a single in a two -squeeze after hitting a Baty’s glove shot. Nimmo hit the ball in an error area and threw a strike to Luisangel Acuña to nail Flores.
‘[Peterson] Trust the defense, “said Carlos Mendoza manager.” And the situation or the moment is never too big for him. ‘
