Jake Peavy was back on the mound for the San Diego Padres and everything went great as the Padres crused the Los Angeles Dodgers 9-0 on Thursday afternoon. Peavy was on a pitch count so he only pitched the first seven innings of the game but he was pretty dominated as he only gave up three hits and struckout four batters.
Justin Hampson, Bryan Corey, and Mike Adams pitched the final three innings of the game and only gave up two combined hits. Great job by the pullpen in finishing up the game.
At the plate, the Padres jumped all over the Dodgers with five runs in the first inning. Brian Giles had a three run home run, Adrian Gonzalez a rbi single, and then Luke Carlin had a rbi ground out. That all happened in the first inning!
The Padres just kept adding on runs as Carlin had a bases loaded walk in the third inning. A. Gonzalez then had a rbi single in the seventh inning before Craig Stansberry singled in a run in the eight inning. The Padres weren’t done yet though, Jody Gerut also had a rbi single in the ninth inning!
Talk about great pitching and great hitting up and down the lineup. That is a butt kicking no matter which way you look at it!
