Peterson (9-1) picked up the win Tuesday, allowing one run on six hits and a walk over six innings in a 7-2 victory over the Red Sox. He struck out 11.

The 11 strikeouts were a career high for the southpaw, who generated an impressive 20 swinging strikes among his 89 pitches. Peterson has won four straight decisions and has six quality starts in seven trips to the mound since the beginning of August, posting a 1.81 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 38:14 K:BB through 44.2 innings over that stretch. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week in Toronto.
