The Padres' Jake Peavy made another argument for why he has become the NL's best starting pitcher, throwing 8 scoreless innings, giving up just two hits and striking out 13 in San Diego's 1-0 win over the L.A. Dodgers. "I felt like I was in Omaha, like some of those college kids," said Peavy. "That was just a lot of adrenaline. This is the loudest I've ever heard Petco Park," Peavy said. The 24-year-old right-hander struck out a career-high 13 and held Los Angeles to two hits in eight innings. Peavy had originally been scheduled to start Sunday at Minnesota but was pushed back a day in part so he could get an extra day's rest but also so he could face the Dodgers. "I was told that. I'm not sure I was supposed to say that," said Peavy, who in his previous start lost 8-4 at Detroit on Tuesday in a game that included a rain delay of 1 hour, 43 minutes. "Obviously you've got to win these games in your division," Peavy said. "It pumped me up that they wanted me to face L.A., and I wanted to face L.A. I hope the team feeds off this."
