06/19/2010 - Washington, DC (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Jake Peavy had his best outing in a Chicago White Sox uniform, as the right-hander tossed the fourth shutout of his career in a slim 1-0 victory over the Washington Nationals.
Peavy (6-5), whose earned-run average is still a robust 5.07, retired 20 straight hitters going into the ninth and survived a leadoff walk in the final frame to pick up his first shutout since August 23, 2005.
The former National League Cy Young Award winner allowed just three hits and two walks while fanning seven for the Sox, winners of five straight and nine of 10 overall.
Carlos Quentin drove in Omar Vizquel for the game's lone run.
J.D. Martin (0-3), in his fourth start since being recalled to the majors, was the hard luck loser, giving up one run on eight hits with no walks and six strikeouts through six innings in Washington's fifth straight loss.
The Sox got the only run they needed in the fourth, when Vizquel led off with a single, moved to second on a groundout and came home on Quentin's two-out base hit to left.
The Nationals had their first two hitters of the game reach on singles, but Peavy got out of the inning unscatched by striking out Ryan Zimmerman and getting consecutive flyouts from Adam Dunn and Josh Willingham.
Peavy cruised after Roger Bernadina's one-out single in the second, retiring the side in order for six straight innings.
A 10-pitch eighth upped his workload to just 88 pitches heading to the ninth. Nyjer Morgan worked a walk to open the final frame and was sacrificed over to second.
Zimmerman, though, struck out for the fourth time, and Josh Willingham popped out to second after Adam Dunn was intentionally walked to put the go-ahead run on first.
Game Notes
Peavy has made 17 starts with Chicago since being acquired in a trade with San Diego last year. He has eight career complete games...Nationals manager Jim Riggleman was ejected by home plate umpire Sam Holbrook in the eighth inning...A.J. Pierzynski had three of Chicago's nine hits...Sean Burnett, Miguel Bastista and Tyler Walker each threw a scoreless inning of relief for the Nationals...Chicago goes for the three-game interleague sweep on Sunday with Freddy Garcia on the mound opposite Washington's John Lannan.

Sportsbook betting odds favor Europe in Ryder Cup
September 19, – Despite holding a decided edge in the all-time series, with 24 wins, 2 ties and 10 losses, Team USA is the underdog again heading into the Ryder Cup in Kidare, Ireland this weekend, according to MySportsbook.com. The Europeans have captured four of the past five editions, including their largest victory ever, an 18 ½ to 9 ½ thumping in Michigan in 2004. Current Ryder Cup betting odds favor the Europeans to continue their winning ways; they are a 4-5 bet to take the title, compared to 6-5 for the Americans.
Despite being knocked out in the first round of World Match play by Shaun Micheel, Tiger Woods is predicted to lead the US charge and be their highest point scorer for the week, with odds listed at 9-4 that he outpoints all other American players, including Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and Chris DiMarco to name a few. Team USA has four relatively unknown players on the roster but all four are 2007 tournament winners and have posted some of season’s best performances, each earning over $1.5 million on the PGA TOUR. They include Zach Johnson, Vaughan Taylor, JJ Henry and Brett Wetterich.
The experienced European squad includes the likes of Luke Donald, Sergio Garcia, Padraig Harrington, Jose Maria Olazabal and Darren Clarke, who’s emotions will be tested after the passing of his wife to a battle with cancer. Donald and Garcia are in particularly good form and each is a 5-1 bet to lead the European squad in the points race. Donald has proven he can go head to head with Woods at a major event after a run for the $1.2 million purse at the PGA Championship. Garcia’s Ryder Cup credentials prove he’s ready for battle too.
