"It's always fun to be in the big leagues," said Ortega, who has played for six teams since 2012."I'm appreciative of this really good opportunity that I'm in right here."Peterson tied a season high with eight strikeouts over seven innings, his longest outing since June 26 last year, He allowed his only run on Wallach's tying RBI groundout in the seventh.
