Mets’ David Peterson scare was just nausea in sign of relief
NY Post
David Peterson bent over behind the mound in Sunday’s fifth inning, giving the appearance of perhaps a back ailment.
To the Mets’ relief, the left-hander merely was dealing with nausea.
“I threw a pitch, and I got the ball back, and then my vision just went blurry,” Peterson said after the Mets beat the Blue Jays 2-1 at Citi Field. “My vision started to come back, and then my stomach turned over on me. I just felt worse with every breath I took, and it just felt like I got punched in the stomach and was going to throw up.”
But Peterson managed to talk his way into remaining in the game to face two additional batters, neither of which were retired.
The Mets averted disaster as Max Kranick escaped a bases-loaded jam to preserve the lead.
“The last thing you want to see is a guy bend over like that, it’s not a good look,” manager Carlos Mendoza said. “Once I got out there and I heard ‘stomach’ and ‘not feeling good,’ I was like, ‘OK, this is not an arm or anything we have to worry about. Just take your time and see how you go.’ ”
This is not a great time for the Mets to need a center fielder.
