Overview

  • Left-hander David Peterson pitched his first nine-inning complete-game shutout, yielding six hits, no walks and recording six strikeouts on 106 pitches in New York’s 5-0 victory.
  • The win extended New York’s streak to five games with at least four runs scored in each outing and solidified their lead at 44-24 atop the NL East.
  • Brandon Nimmo delivered two solo homers, marking his fifth multi-homer performance and 12th long ball of the season.
  • Juan Soto homered for the second consecutive night and has reached base in 13 straight games as his power and plate discipline return.
  • Pete Alonso opened the scoring with an RBI double and made key defensive plays by scooping a throw at third base and stopping a seventh-inning grounder to preserve the shutout.
