Swatting a third-inning pitch into the smaller of two pools beyond the wall in right-center at Chase Field, [Scott] Hairston sent Peavy and the Padres toward a 4-2 victory over the Diamondbacks.
...
Hairston assisted Peavy again leading off the sixth. This time he sent Davis’ fastball into the left-field seats for his 11th home run. Hairston also doubled as part of a barrage that showed he can still be dangerous, despite losing playing time to rookie Chase Headley.
...
The big picture for the Padres (35-53) remains cloudy, but they are painting some sunshine into the clouds. Led by starting pitchers Cha Seung Baek and Peavy, who combined for 13 scoreless innings, they have won the first two games of the series. The last time they won two in a row on the road was May 30-31 at San Francisco.
They also have moved to eight games out of first place. The Diamondbacks (43-45) are still atop the National League West, but they are trending downward. They are in the midst of a third consecutive losing month.

1. Russlan will never be fond of Jason Bay Posted: July 06, 2008 at 08:29 AM (#2845302)How awesome would it be for the Giants to win a weak NL West and then have Lincecum, Sanchez, and Cain pitch lights out on their way to a World Series title?
I think the majority of people predicted that the Giants would be the worst team in baseball. How amazing would it be for everyone to be that wrong?
How awesome would it be for the Giants to win a weak NL West and then have Lincecum, Sanchez, and Cain pitch lights out on their way to a World Series title?
Uh...not awesome?
