Jake Peavy struck out 13 batters as the San Diego Padres defeated the
Cleveland Indians by a score of 8 to 0 at Petco Park.
 
Brian Giles had a good day at the plate.  He doubled plating a run in the 1st
inning, electrified the crowd with a Grand Slam home run (his 6th of the
season) in the 3rd inning and stroked a single in the 7th inning.  San Diego
totaled 10 on the afternoon.  
 
Peavy(6-4) went the distance for the shutout. The losing pitcher was Scott
Elarton(2-3).  He was not very effective, surrendering 6 runs in 2 and 1/3
innings.  
 
Everyone seemed to enjoy the performance of Peavy - except Cleveland.  Eric
Wedge lamented, 'He just was 'on' this afternoon.  He was keeping our guys
off balance all game.  A fine game by a good strikeout pitcher - makes it a
fun game for the hometown fans - unfortunately we were the visitors!'

hits and 3 RBI as the Kansas City Royals defeated the San Francisco Giants by
the score of 5 to 0 at SBC Park.

much of the offense for the visitors.  He cleared the fences for a two-run
home run (his 3rd of the season) in the 1st inning, delivered a one-base hit
resulting in a run in the 3rd inning, hit a single in the 5th inning and
doubled in the 7th inning.  Neither team managed to score after the 3rd

then lofted a three-run bomb (his 6th of the season) making Cincinnati
victorious to the delight of the the home town crowd.  Both teams finished
