The Padres are 0-2 this season when Jake Peavy whiffs 10 or more batters in a game. After winning 9 of the first 10 games in which Peavy notched double-digit strikeouts, the Padres now have lost 4 of the last 6 such contests, dating back to 2006.
Re 150 – My bad. That’s what happens when ESPN international shows one Padres game a year during the regular season and the playoffs are a bad nightmare that you try to forget as quickly as possible.
