<h3>Peavy faces Nationals, looks to continue road dominance</h3>



San Diego (31-22) at Washington (22-32) 7:05 pm EDT

WASHINGTON (Ticker) -- Jake Peavy has been dominant all season long.But on the road, he has been downright filthy.

The San Diego Padres begin a three-game weekend series with theWashington Nationals on Friday at RFK Stadium.

Peavy (7-1, 1.47 ERA), who has allowed just one earned run infour starts away from PETCO Park, is 3-0 on the road, holdingbatters to a .101 average. He has surrendered more than tworuns only twice in his 11 starts this season.

The righthander, who will be looking for a league-best eighthwin, is 2-4 with a 4.22 ERA in eight career starts against theNationals. He allowed two hits in seven frames in Sunday's 3-0win against Milwaukee.

Peavy, who leads the majors in ERA and is second in the NL with85 strikeouts, has pitched at least six innings in all but oneof his outings, striking out at least eight hitters in six ofhis starts.

After consecutive home shutouts against the Los Angeles Dodgers,the Nationals rediscovered the offense that helped them go 12-5for a stretch during May. They scored 11 runs Thursday againstthe Dodgers, one away from tying their season high.

Washington will counter with rookie Matt Chico (3-4, 5.13), whogave up just three hits in four scoreless innings in theNationals' 7-2 win Sunday against the St. Louis Cardinals. Hewas pulled from the contest when a rain delay stopped play forover an hour.

The lefthander is 0-1 with a 12.27 ERA in his only career startagainst the Padres.
