Petersen’s Performance This Season
This season, Michael Petersen has made 6 appearances with a 2-0 record and an ERA of 4.66. He made his major league debut this season and has shown promising results.
Petersen’s Journey to the Majors
The 30-year-old right-hander was promoted to the majors for the first time this season on June 16th. He made his first appearance on June 18th in an away game against the Rockies, taking to the mound in the 7th inning with a 4-run deficit. Petersen gave up 1 hit and 1 run in 2 innings to record his first major win.
Challenges and Opportunities
Although Petersen finished June with a good ERA of 1.17, he was hit hard in subsequent games. He gave up 4 hits and 4 runs in 2 innings in a home game against the Diamondbacks on the 3rd. However, the Marlins have seen potential in him and acquired him through waivers on the 10th.
