NL: ARIZONA (74-57) at SAN DIEGO (70-59) <h3>Peavy looks to continue dominance of Diamondbacks</h3> <div class="pre">Arizona (74-57) at San Diego (70-59) 10:05 pm EDT</div> SAN DIEGO (Ticker) - The San Diego Padres are confident thatJake Peavy can help them gain ground in the National League Westby beating the Arizona Diamondbacks on Monday. Peavy takes the mound in the opener of a four-game series forthe reigning NL West champion Padres (70-59), who trail theDiamondbacks (74-57) by three games. Rookie Chris B. Young homered twice and Jose Valverde notchedhis NL-leading 40th save as Arizona posted a 5-4 victory overthe Chicago Cubs on Sunday. Young has been unconscious inAugust, hitting nine home runs in his last 12 games. However, Young and his teammates may have a tough time scoringat all against Peavy (14-5, 2.21 ERA), who is second in the NLin ERA and has not allowed a run over his last 14 inningsagainst Arizona. In his last start Peavy, who is 2-0 with a1.86 ERA against the Diamondbacks, allowed two runs and fivehits in six innings with 11 strikeouts in a 6-2 win over NewYork on Wednesday. Arizona, which is 24-9 since July 21, sends Livan Hernandez(9-8, 4.96) to the mound.

San Diego had its four-game winning streak snapped in a 14-2loss to Philadelphia on Sunday.
