David Peterson punches out 11 Red Sox over 6 innings of work on 9/3/24

David Peterson didn't make his first start until late May. The Mets are 13 to 3 when he takes the mound. He is just at the top of his game right now. Swing and a miss got it with the fastball. So Peterson threw it by Refsnyder after showing him the whole repertoire. And that's the first out of the night and a fastball got him. So just as Severino did last night, Peterson blowing it by o'neal in his first at bat swing and a Miss and Peterson again goes upstairs with the fastball. He strikes out three in the opening inning, 2 to 2. Got him looking slider on the inside edge of the knees, four outs, four strikeouts for Peterson and he got him on three pitches, five strikeouts in the first two innings for David Peterson and he's made quick work by Peterson. Can anybody hit a high fastball tonight? Both sides six strikeouts for Peterson and Rne goes after the curveball and strikes out six pitches, two strikeouts. Peterson two third of the way to inning swing and a Miss and Peterson strikes out Gonzalez to end the inning, eight strikeouts for David Peterson matching his season high Raffaele down on strikes and that's a season high nine strikeouts for David Peterson. One shy of his career. Struck him out foul tip by Alvarez. 10 strikeouts for David Peterson on his 29th birthday, struck him out a career high 11 strikeouts for David Peterson on his birthday.
