Padres 4, Dodgers 1
Not much to say about this one except, too much Jake Peavy. Since the start of last season, the No. 1 starters for the Rockies, Padres and Diamondbacks -- Jeff Francis, Jake Peavy and Brandon Webb, respectively -- are now a combined 11-0 with a 1.71 ERA in 14 starts against the Dodgers, who are 1-13 in those 14 games. If this team is to contend, it HAS to find a way to beat good pitching, at least once in a while. ... Delwyn Young started feeling nauseous during the game and was taken for a CAT scan, but it came back negative, so he doesn't have a concussion. It was an unfortunate incident, but it all appears to have come out OK. ... Dodgers fall to 3-2 and a half-game behind the Pods, who move back into the division lead.

The 1-12 is interesting, but not particularly relevant to this club. It's 0-1 this year, and we can live with that.
On most occasions, the Pads will have just as much trouble with Penny as the Dodgers had against Peavy today.
This Dodgers team will beat good pitching, and they will win some 1-0 and 2-1 games.
They'll work Young tomorrow, and he'll have made a ton of pitches by the 6th inning and be out of there. A different story for sure. Just watch.
Two out of three in SD will be a fine start to the road season.
