NEW YORK — In accordance with the theme of Saturday’s celebration, the Mets and Rockies played an old-school game on Saturday.
Just a few hours after the Old Timers’ Day game, which pitted legends from each decade of Mets’ history against each other in a fun-spirited exhibition, the Mets beat Colorado 3-0 in a throwback, low-scoring duel.
Pitching against the Rockies, Colorado native David Peterson had probably the best game of his season. This has been an odd year for Peterson. He is undoubtedly part of the fabric of the Mets, who are inarguably one of the three or four best teams in the league. But he has also spent a chunk of the season in the minor leagues, coming up to the majors when another pitcher gets injured and heading right back down when they get healthy.
