Brad Peacock's fastball looked about as steady as it's been all season. The Houston right-hander's off-speed pitches were even better. Coming off two rough outings, Peacock (4-5) found his rhythm early and never backed off. He carried a shutout into the eighth inning, then watched from the dugout as the Astros' bullpen survived a late Oakland rally for a 3-2 victory Thursday night.
