Freddy Peralta is looking toward his torso for answers.

The Mets ace said Saturday he’s identified a needed mechanical adjustment involving his torso’s rotation that he believes will lead to improved performance in his next start.

That start is scheduled for Sunday against the Braves at Citi Field.

Peralta had his worst outing of the season on Tuesday, when he surrendered six earned runs over six innings in a loss to the Cardinals.

Over his past five starts, Peralta has pitched to a 5.65 ERA. In three of those starts he allowed at least four earned runs.

“I didn’t realize until I sat down with some people around and we figured out I was becoming something different,” Peralta said before the Mets’ 3-1 loss to the Braves on Saturday at Citi Field. “Like a different version of myself because I wasn’t doing what brought me here. I am working on that, and everything is going better.”

Peralta said his location has suffered due to a lower release point. He believes he’s eradicated the problem.

And Peralta isn’t about to look back.

“I have a lot more games for the rest of the season and I bet on myself,” Peralta said. “And I know at the end it’s going to be a really good season.”

Devin Williams was unavailable from the bullpen following appearances on consecutive days, including a 1 ¹/₃-inning outing on Friday in which he threw 33 pitches to record the save.

His nemesis in the latter appearance was Mauricio Dubón, who took Williams to a 13th pitch before delivering a single in the ninth. Williams recovered to get the final two outs.

“I showed him everything I had, and he just kept getting a bat on it,” Williams said. “I was kind of like, ‘All right, let’s just get it over.’ Obviously, I would have liked to get him out there, but I was just ready to move on to the next guy.”

Williams is unscored upon in 15 of his last 17 appearances.

“Overall, I think I have thrown really well,” he said. “They all matter, but when there’s been no room for error, I have matched it,” Williams said. “Outside of two games I think it’s been really good. Consistent for the most part.”
