PORT ST. LUCIE \u2014 David Peterson\u2019s biggest disapp<\/a>ointment Sunday was his inability to finish the Cardinals in the first inning after recording two outs.<\/p>\n

With two outs and nobody on base, the Mets left-hander allowed a rally that gave the Cardinals two runs against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cGetting two quick outs and then letting guys on is unacceptable in my mind,\u201d Peterson said on a day the Mets won 7-5 in a Grapefruit League game<\/a> at Clover Park. \u201cThat is something we need to work on going forward and just attacking guys.\u201d<\/p>\n

Overall, he lasted four innings and allowed three earned runs on five hits and two walks with one strikeout. Peterson, who is competing for a rotation spot, has pitched to a 4.50 ERA in his two exhibition starts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were some hard-hit balls against him and he was on and off with his command,\u201d manager Luis Rojas said. \u201cI thought the last inning was the best one, but he had the three outs via contact. But he\u2019s working on stuff. The stuff was there, but I thought location-wise is where he didn\u2019t execute at times.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Cardinals used starting pitcher Carlos Martinez to bat ninth in the lineup, but Rojas isn\u2019t in a hurry to shed the DH, as James McCann started in that spot. Unless MLB and the MLPBA reach agreement on a universal DH before Opening Day, pitchers will bat this season in the National League.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been talking about that,\u201d Rojas said. \u201c[Pitchers] are swinging in the cage, they are getting loose, we might start hitting them a week from now or something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rojas said Jacob deGrom might be the first Mets pitcher to get a turn in the batter\u2019s box.<\/p>\n
