The New York Mets lost to the Los Angeles Dodgers 10-3 this afternoon at Citi Field to be swept in their three-game series and dropped their record to 22-33.

Peterson had a scoreless top of the third and then gave up a RBI single to CF Andy Pages in the top of the fourth.

Peterson gave up another run in the top of the fifth on a RBI single by DH Shohei Ohtani and was taken out after the inning.

His final line was five innings, seven hits, three runs, one walk and three strikeouts.

RHP Sean Reid-Foley followed with 1.1 scoreless innings

RHP Adam Ottavino came on in the top of the eighth and gave up a RBI single to SS Miguel Vargas and was taken out with one out in the inning.

RHP Jorge Lopez came in next and it all imploded from there after he gave up a two-run double to LF Miguel Vargas and later in the inning a two-run homer to Ohtani.

LHP Josh Walker gave up a solo homer to pinch-hitter Jason Heyward in the top of the ninth.

The Met offense was held scoreless for the first four innings, but in the bottom of the fifth, catcher Tomas Nido hit a two-run homer and then DH J.D. Martinez hit a RBI double.
