But now in his last seven starts Peterson has seen the 7th only once. So has Mendoza gotten more restrictive or might it have something to do with Peterson's ERA hovering around 7.00 in that time rather than the sub-3.00 earlier on? And, Shirley, we're not arguing that we wanted to see longer outings from Manaea, Senga, Montas, etc., are we? No. And don't call me Shirley.
