Peterson (6-4) went 6 2⁄3 innings and gave up two runs, five hits and three walks with four strikeouts. It was his first win since June 11, a shutout of the Nationals. Ryne Stanek and Edwin Diaz got the last seven outs, with Diaz collecting his 18th save.

Quintana, meanwhile, continued to perform in a manner that was likely familiar to many Mets fans: he didn’t demonstrate dominating stuff, but he managed to put up for several innings following the Nimmo homer.
