Peavy delivers strong outing

Jake Peavy delivered a strong outing against the A’s on Monday, allowing three hits and two walks vs. six strikeouts over 4 2/3 shutout innings. Peavy has allowed only one run over 9 2/3 innings in his last two starts, and now mainly needs to focus on building up his pitch count. This is a far cry from last year, when the Padres ace had limited preparation time before gearing up for the high-intensity climate of the World Baseball Classic, so the chances of a dominant Peavy emerging from the starting gate look promising.
