Carlos Mendoza addresses David Peterson's starting role after Mets loss

Following a 6-2 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies on June 21, Mets manager Carlos Mendoza and pitcher David Peterson discussed the state of the pitching rotation. Peterson struggled during the game, allowing four earned runs over four innings. Mendoza noted that Peterson's early walks and an ill-timed pitch to Kyle Schwarber, who hit a three-run homer, significantly impacted the game. Despite the performance, Mendoza emphasized the need for the team to step up as they navigate injuries. Peterson expressed his commitment to be ready for whatever role he is given, and conversations about his future in the rotation will take place.
