This article was originally published on www.si.com/mlb/mets as David Peterson has emerged as the ace for the New York Mets. With another quality start last night against the San Francisco Giants, it is fair to say that David Peterson has solidified himself as the New York Mets ' ace.

Mark Vientos' two-out, two-run double in the sixth inning gave the Mets the lead, and four Mets pitchers combined to make it stand up as New York made it two straight over the host San Francisco Giants with a 2-1 victory Saturday night.

David Peterson encountered more traffic than the Bay Bridge in rush hour, but was resourceful enough Saturday night to record outs when the Mets needed them.
