Freddy Peralta leaves disappointment with Mets behind as he preps for ALDS start with Rays
- On Monday, the Tampa Bay Rays start Freddy Peralta in ALDS Game 2 against the New York Yankees, seeking to extend their 1-0 series lead after Drew Rasmussen's dominant one-hit shutout Saturday.
- After posting a 4.99 ERA across 22 starts with the Mets, Peralta rejuvenated his career following a December trade to Tampa, earning AL Pitcher of the Month for September.
- Peralta's September turnaround featured a 0.96 ERA and 0.89 WHIP over five starts, while his fastball velocity reached 96.2 mph, up from 94.4 with the Mets.
- Trailing 1-0, the Yankees turn to 25-year-old starter Cam Schlittler, an AL Cy Young contender, to spark an offense held to one hit in Saturday's opener.
- A victory would give Tampa a commanding 2-0 series lead, while a strong postseason showing could enhance Peralta's free-agent market value heading into winter.
