The San Diego Padres have now won 7 straight, after Jake Peavy's second straight gem, and get back to sole posession of 2nd place in the NL West (behind the Dodgers with the best record in MLB).
The day after rejecting a trade to the Chicago White Sox, Jake Peavy through 6 innings, giving up no runs on two hits and striking out 10 Cubs to beat Carlos Zambrano. Petco Park has been great to the Pads over the last week, holding their opponents to an average of 1.85 runs per game...pretty amazing.
You have to give credit to every pitcher on the roster, and the hitters at least get credit for doing enough. That includes saving the day on Thursday night when Heath Bell gave up his first earned run of the season (not bad 42 games through the year) by scoring to runs in the ninth to turn a loss into a win.
Good job by the swinging friars, and lets home this keeps up through the weekend.
Josh Geer takes the ball tonight vs the Randy Wells of the Chicago Cubs.
