He lasted just three innings and allowed three runs and four hits, while walking three with five strikeouts in his team's 10-6 win. T |

| (Sportsbooks) - Jake Peavy hopes for some run support this evening when the San Diego Padres continue their three-game series with the San Francisco Giants at Petco Park. Peavy, who was victimized by poor run support most of last season, was not sharp on Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers, but still allowed just three earned runs and seven hits, while striking out seven in seven innings. He was tagged with the loss, though, as his team mustered just one run in the 4-1 setback. The 27-year-old right-hand |

| (Sportsbooks) - The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres resume what's been an evenly-played four-game season-opening series so far when the two National League West members square off again tonight at Petco Park. The reigning division champion Dodgers took Monday's lid-lifter by a 4-1 count, but the Padres evened things up with a 4-2 decision last night. San Diego scored three times in the bottom of the sixth inning to erase a 2-1 deficit, with Chase Headley's two-RBI double plating the go-ahead runs. |
