Through his first two starts with the Mets, Peralta's given up five runs on nine hits and two walks over 10.1 innings while striking out seven in both outings.

Earns win on Opening Day
Peralta (1-0) picked up the win Thursday against the Pirates, allowing four runs on six hits while striking out six over five innings.
Analysis
The right-hander looked shaky early in his season debut, giving up a two-run homer to the second batter he faced, Brandon Lowe, but quickly regrouped and found his rhythm, striking out the next four hitters and retiring eight consecutive batters. Peralta served up another home run to Lowe in the third, but despite the trouble with the long ball, the 29-year-old righty was able to pick up the win in his Mets debut. Better days are likely ahead, as he's coming off a strong 2025 regular season, during which he led the NL in wins with a 17-6 record and a 2.70 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 204 strikeouts.
