Lacks command in no-decision
Peterson allowed one run on two hits across five innings and did not factor into the decision in Thursday's loss to the Orioles. He walked four and struck out two.
Análise
Peterson pitched pretty well overall Thursday but struggled with his command as he tied a season high in walks. Even with the shaky control it was still a huge step in the right direction for the lefty after being tagged for 10 runs in only 3.2 innings in his last start. Peterson will now carry a 6.45 ERA and 1.64 WHIP into the All-Star break, and he should slot into the back of Chicago's rotation once the second half kicks off, at least until the likes of Jameson Taillon (hamstring), Edward Cabrera (hamstring) and Ben Brown (neck) are able to return.

Folds against Cards
Peterson (4-7) took the loss Friday as the Cubs were routed 17-1 by the Cardinals, surrendering 10 runs on nine hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out three.
Análise
After an effective debut for Chicago on June 27 in a win over Milwaukee, Peterson crashed back down to earth in a hurry. The 10 runs allowed were a career worst for the southpaw, who got chased after 91 pitches (58 strikes) as St. Louis put multiple runs on the board in five straight innings beginning in the second frame. The Cubs' injury woes in the rotation could force them to give Peterson another start, but with Jameson Taillon (hamstring) beginning a rehab assignment this weekend, Peterson likely can't afford another poor outing if he wants to keep his spot. Peterson will carry a 6.75 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and 68:33 K:BB through 77.1 innings split between the Cubs and Mets into his next trip to the mound, which is currently set to come on the road next week in Baltimore.
