Good morning Mets fans!

Peterson gave up five hits and did not walk a batter as the Rumble Ponies won 2-0.
This was Peterson’s fourth rehab start. His previous three appearances came with Low-A St. Lucie.
Peterson has pitched 14 scoreless innings and struck out 24 batters in his rehab assignment. After the game, he told reporters he expects his next start to be with Triple-A Syracuse.
