Rewind: Peavy again feels back tightness as he's knocked out early

Share This Post

SAN FRANCISCO — Jake Peavy has seen the first-to-worst thing before, and he knows that at some point, you stop pointing to the calendar and saying, “It’s only April.” 

Peavy was on a Red Sox team last season that got a title defense off to a slow start and ended up trading key players, including Peavy, as a last-place finish became a reality. He said several Giants stood around in a back room after Friday’s dispiriting 9-0 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks and talked about the need to quickly find a fix.

“We understand these last eight games have not gone well,” he said of the losing streak, the longest by the Giants since 2007.
