| Penny vs. Peavy Chalk this one up as an Instant Classic, as Brad Penny of the Dodgers and Jake Peavy of the Padres dueled to a draw in a game ultimately won by San Diego, 3-1, in 12 innings. According to the Associated Press, "Peavy allowed a run and five hits while reducing his ERA to 2.09, just nine points behind Penny's. The Padres' right-hander struck out six, walked one and escaped a bases-loaded jam in the seventh by striking out pinch-hitter Olmedo Saenz... Penny also gave up a run and five hits before Saenz was sent up to bat for him with the score still 1-1. The right-hander struck out seven and walked two." |
