David Peterson shined on the mound, leading the New York Mets to a 5-0 victory over the Washington Nationals, notching his first career complete-game shutout. The Mets secured their fifth consecutive win, showcasing their dominance at Citi Field with a 26-7 record at home — the best in the league. Peterson's performance was pivotal, as he improved to 5-2, retiring the first seven batters and allowing just six hits over eight innings.

Brandon Nimmo and Juan Soto also contributed significant offensive firepower, each hitting home runs. Nimmo's two home runs highlighted his resurgence, while Soto extended his on-base streak to 13 games. The Mets' key players at the top of the order continue to deliver, combining for crucial runs that solidify their position as contenders this season.
