Peavy pitches, Posey powers Giants to victory

The leaders are leading and that's good to see. Crawford adds another sterling defensive gem late in the game to seal the deal. The only concern now, given the winning percentage with/without him in the lineup is Angel Pagan's balky back. The trainers may decide how far these Giants advance in the playoffs.

Peavy, Posey help Giants gain ground in NL West - Yahoo Sports:

''Tonight was a big game,'' Peavy said. ''We had to have it after the way we dropped the last three. I feel very blessed to feel healthy and go out there and be a contributing factor to a team that's fighting for our lives every day.'' Peavy (6-4), acquired from Boston on July 26, allowed a run and five hits in 7 2-3 innings, striking out four and walking one. 
''He's been a pleasure to watch,'' Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. ''You just love how he competes out there. He's got so much intensity in every game he throws. His command's been really right on. He's been a real shot in the arm for this club.'' 
 In his last seven starts, Peavy is 6-1 with a 1.13 ERA.

BTW:  Peavy's performance since coming over validates the trade unless Escobar wins a Cy Young Award and/or Heath Hembree wins a Rolaids Reliever of the Year Award or whatever award they give closers these days.

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeere's Brandon:
