What Pitching Duel?
Jake Peavy and Dan Haren combined to allow eleven runs in eleven innings as the duel between two of the top NL pitchers never developed. The Diamondbacks led 6-4 at the end of two innings and went on to an 8-6 victory, extending their NL West lead to two games over the Dodgers.
Peavy's road woes continue. Last season, he was as good away from PETCO as at home. This season, his ERA is 4.52 traveling, over three runs higher than at home. He's allowed 13 home runs on the road including two Wednesday night. He gave up 15 overall.
Haren is going through a bit of a rough patch right now. He'd 3-1 in August, but with a 6.04 ERA. His strikeouts and walks are good, so it may just be a few balls in play finding holes.
