The New York Mets achieved a 2-1 victory against the San Francisco Giants, extending their winning streak to six games. David Peterson pitched effectively, allowing one run over six innings with a season ERA of 2.38. Timely defense, including double plays and key plays from Pete Alonso, supported his effort. The Mets scored two runs in the sixth inning, led by a two-run double from Mark Vientos. The bullpen then maintained the lead, with Edwin Díaz striking out the game-ending out in the ninth inning.
David Peterson battled through traffic all night but limited the damage, allowing just one run across six gritty innings. The left-hander scattered eight singles, walked three, and struck out four on 91 pitches, lowering his season ERA to 2.38.
Juan Soto walked, stole his 14th base of the year, and after Starling Marte reached and Rafael Devers botched a potential double play, Mark Vientos delivered a two-run double to flip a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead.
The bullpen took over from there. Reed Garrett and Ryne Stanek each worked clean innings before Edwin Díaz held off a late Giants threat in the ninth.
After a near game-tying homer by Jung Hoo Lee turned into a double, Díaz struck out Mike Yastrzemski, and Alonso sealed it with a leaping snag to rob Patrick Bailey.
