SAN DIEGO (Ticker) -- Jake Peavy added to his Cy Young candidacyand the San Diego Padres completed a three-game sweep of theSan Francisco Giants with a 5-1 victory on Sunday.

The win gave San Diego its eighth straight win over the Giantsand helped the Padres hold ground in the chase for a playoffberth.


San Diego (81-67) trails Arizona (83-66) by 1 1/2 gamesin the National League West and maintained its 1 1/2 game leadover Philadelphia (80-69) in the wild card standings. TheDiamondbacks are playing at Los Angeles.


Peavy (18-6) entered the game leading the league in the pitchingtriple-crown categories and did nothing to dissuade Cy YoungAward voters in this one. The All-Star righthander tossed 7 1/3fantastic innings, allowing one run on just four hits. Hefanned 10 batters for his major league best ninth double-digitstrikeout effort of the season.


In becoming the first San Diego pitcher to win 18 games sinceKevin Brown did so in 1998 - the year in which the Padresreached the World Series - Peavy improved his league-beststatistics to 2.39 ERA and 225 strikeouts.


Heath Bell ended an eighth-inning rally by inducing adouble-play from the only batter he faced and Cla Meredithclosed out the ninth.


Kevin Kouzmanoff paced the San Diego offense with three hitsagainst San Francisco starter Tim Lincecum (7-5), who remainedwinless since August 16.


The Padres got an early lead thanks to a miscue from catcherGuillermo Rodriguez, who threw a pickoff attempt down the rightfield line that allowed Khalil Greene to reach third base.Greene came home on a groundout by Josh Bard as San Diego took a1-0 lead that it would not relinquish.


Lincecum allowed little else until the seventh when Kouzmanoffchased him from the game with a run-scoring double that helpedfuel a two-run frame as San Diego but a 4-0 advantage.

San Francisco broke through in the eighth with an RBI singlefrom pinch hitter Ray Durham that chased Peavy from the game.

Lincecum finished the day yielding four runs - three earned - onsix hits over 6 1/3 innings. The rookie righthander walkedfive and struck out five.


San Francisco lost its fourth straight in falling to 3-12against San Diego on the season, including 1-8 at Petco Park.

"I think any time you win, you call it a good day," Peavy said."I felt pretty good. I didn't have a lot of history with thoseguys (on the Giants). It was a great day, the boys played greatbaseball."


In becoming the first San Diego pitcher to win 18 games sinceKevin Brown did so in 1998 - the year in which the Padresreached the World Series - Peavy improved his league-beststatistics to 2.39 ERA and 225 strikeouts.


"It's not for me to decide," Peavy said of his Cy Youngqualifications. "To be honest with you, I don't know thenumbers of the other guys in the league or where I stand. I'mjust going to try to finish strong. I believe I've got twostarts left, and then I'll let (the media) decide."

Heath Bell ended an eighth-inning rally by inducing adouble-play from the only batter he faced and Cla Meredithclosed out the ninth.


Kevin Kouzmanoff paced the San Diego offense with three hitsagainst San Francisco starter Tim Lincecum (7-5), who remainedwinless since August 16.


"Peavy pitched a great game today and brought his intensity tothe mound, which is always nice and a lot fun to play behind,"Kouzmanoff said. "We strung some hits together and drove insome runs to get the win."


The Padres got an early lead thanks to a miscue from catcherGuillermo Rodriguez, who threw a pickoff attempt down the rightfield line that allowed Khalil Greene to reach third base.Greene came home on a groundout by Josh Bard as San Diego took a1-0 lead that it would not relinquish.


"You know when you're facing Jake that you've got to play yourbest ball," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "You've got yourwork cut out, and you have to do all of the things it takes towin a ballgame. We didn't. We made some mistakes."

Lincecum allowed little else until the seventh when Kouzmanoffchased him from the game with a run-scoring double that helpedfuel a two-run frame as San Diego but a 4-0 advantage. SanFrancisco broke through in the eighth with an RBI single frompinch hitter Ray Durham that chased Peavy from the game.

Lincecum finished the day yielding four runs - three earned - onsix hits over 6 1/3 innings. The rookie righthander walkedfive and struck out five.


"You're not out there thinking, 'How am I doing against (Peavy),it's how am I doing against their hitters,'" Lincecum said."I'm just trying to keep my team in the game. That's pretty muchall that's going through my head."


San Francisco lost its fourth straight in falling to 3-12against San Diego on the season, including 1-8 at Petco Park.
