Giants' Jake Peavy: Takes ninth loss against Reds
Peavy (5-9) allowed six runs on four hits and two walks with five strikeouts over five innings in a loss Monday against the Reds.
Analysis:
Peavy may have given up just four hits, but three of them were home runs, and that was enough to sink him. He's now surrendered five homers in his past two starts and has given up multiple home runs four times this season. With his fastball averaging a career low 88.8 mph, Peavy's margin for error is as low as it's ever been, and when he's missing in the zone, disaster will strike.
