Peavy tosses season's first complete game as Pads sink Dodgers

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Padres manager Bud Black had quite the choice Saturday: send out the reigning NL Cy Young Award winner for the ninth inning or turn to baseball's all-time saves leader.

Jake Peavy improved his career record against L.A. to 10-1. That's the highest winning percentage (.909) in major league history among players with at least 10 decisions against the Dodgers. Next-best? Craig Lefferts (10-2, .833).

There was even a little bit of drama. Trevor Hoffman had been warming up in the bullpen, but then Jake Peavy popped out of the dugout and headed to the mound, drawing a cheer from the crowd.

Peavy finished off the 4-1 win, throwing a two-hitter and striking out eight in the first complete game in the big leagues this year.

Peavy threw 101 pitches through eighth innings and had to convince Black that he still felt good and had something left.

"It's tough," said Peavy, the unanimous winner of last season's NL Cy Young Award. "We have the best closer of all time down there, man. The guy's as good as it gets. Division opponent, save situation. It's tough to get back out there, but I appreciate Buddy showing the confidence in me. That's absolutely no disrespect for No. 51. I just appreciate the confidence that Buddy showed in me"

Peavy (2-0) improved to 10-1 in 19 career starts against the Padres' biggest rival. Dodgers ace Brad Penny (1-1) went the other way, dropping to 3-7 against San Diego in 14 career starts.

It was Peavy's sixth career complete game and his first since Sept. 2, 2006, against Cincinnati. It matches the number of complete games by the Padres last year, the one thrown by Greg Maddux on May 14 against Cincinnati.

"I'll take it, no doubt about it," Peavy said. "It was a good win for the boys. No doubt, we had to have it. Got to win this one to have a chance to come out tomorrow and win the series."

Peavy has now beaten Roy Oswalt and Penny in consecutive starts. Although Peavy threw 116 pitches, he gave the bullpen a rest and he won't start again until next Friday at Dodger Stadium, following the Padres' first day off, on Thursday.

"We would have felt good either way," Black said. "It was good to give the bullpen a day off and I think it was good that Jake felt good about his stuff. You combine all that and our decision after eight that he felt strong."

Peavy improved to 4-0 against Penny in six matchups. He held L.A. to one run, walked one and hit a batter.

"Pretty impressive," new Dodgers manager Joe Torre said. Torre was managing the New York Yankees when Peavy took a tough-luck, 1-0 loss to the Bronx Bombers in his big league debut on June 22, 2002, at Qualcomm Stadium.

"He certainly is someone you have to contend with," Torre added. "He's been doing this for a long time. He gets ahead in the count. His stuff was outstanding. You can't help but be impressed with the way he goes about his business."

Peavy threw about 15 changeups, a pitch he worked on in spring training to go along with his fastball and slider. He struck out Jeff Kent on a changeup in the fourth inning with a runner in scoring position, and threw a changeup to Russell Martin in the ninth before inducing a double-play grounder on a fastball.

"You saw today that confidence I have in it," Peavy said.

"He said that he was going to throw a changeup during spring training, and it's like when the pope speaks, everybody thinks it's such a huge deal," catcher Josh Bard said. "He threw a couple on opening night, but I thought he did a really good job tonight. It gave him another pitch. Guys like Kent and Martin have seen his slider a lot, and it's still the best slider in the game, but sometimes they're cheating for it. We threw a little wrinkle in there. You can't say enough."

While Penny allowed four runs on six hits in the first inning, a determined Peavy struck out the side in the first inning and retired the first nine Dodgers batters on 37 pitches.

And apparently, he's a Kenny Rogers fan!


Black says dark substance on Peavy's right hand was just mix of dirt, rosin

Associated Press

SAN DIEGO -- Padres manager Bud Black defended Jake Peavy on Sunday, saying a dark substance on his right hand after a game against the Dodgers on Saturday was just a mix of dirt and rosin.

The sports Web site, www.thebiglead.com, posted images Sunday it said were sent by a reader after Peavy tossed a two-hitter in a 4-1 win over Los Angeles. The images, purportedly still frame shots from a TV broadcast of the game, show a dark substance on Peavy's right thumb, index and middle fingers.

"When you play baseball, your hands get dirty," Black said Sunday. "He had dirty hands. Trying to keep his palms and fingers dry, you apply rosin and dirt. Rosin is a sticky substance, and as often as he goes to the rosin bag, as often as he goes to the dirt to sop up moisture, your hands get dirty.

"I don't think there is anything to it. Modern cameras can pick up a dirty hand."

Peavy (2-0) has allowed just one run in 16 innings over two starts this year. The right-hander won the NL Cy Young Award last season.

"There's nothing on my hands that's not supposed to be," Peavy told the San Diego Union-Tribune for a blog entry on its Web site. "I thought it was funny that it was such a big deal. I've got no problems with anytime anybody needs to check me."

Excuse me, you spelled that incorrectly.

Especially given he is Peavy, you must type pwnage.

Once again, I warn you, this will all look like t-ball once Mulder's rehab is complete.
