David Peterson threw the first shutout of his career on Wednesday night as New York Mets won another series with a 5–0 win on the visit of Washington National.
Peterson (5–2) allowed six hits, no one went on and hit six while throwing 106 pitches. He ran into trouble in the eighth, but the center fielder Tyrone Taylor preserved the shutout by throwing out Louis Garcia Junior. Jacob was trying to score on Young’s one-out single, then Peterson retired CJ Abrams on Right to Right on flyout.
Peterson threw just nine pitches in an ideal ninth innings to shut down the first full game and shutout of Mets since August 17, 2024, when Louis Severino kept Miami Marlins 4–0 victory.
