<div class="pre">San Diego (62-54) at Cincinnati (50-66) 1:15 pm EDT</div>

CINCINNATI (Ticker) - Jake Peavy continues his push for hisfirst National League Cy Young Award on Sunday when the SanDiego Padres face the Cincinnati Reds.


Jake Peavy (12-5, 2.21 ERA), who leads the National League with159 strikeouts and is second in the majors in ERA behindteammate Chris Young (2.02), has been almost untouchable on theroad as he is unbeaten (6-0) with a major league-best 0.89 ERAaway from Petco Park.


Almost as impressive is the two-time All-Star's marks againstCincinnati, as the righthander is 4-0 with a 1.99 ERA in sevenstarts against the Reds - all Padres victories. Just as notableis that Peavy has won each of his last three turns and is on a19-inning scoreless streak after allowing a first-inning toHouston on July 27.


The latest contribution to that stretch was in Tuesday's 4-0victory over St. Louis in which Peavy gave up three hits in sixinnings.


Cincinnati counters with Bronson Arroyo (5-12, 4.51), who hasfared very well at hitter-friendly Great American Ball Parksince the start of July. He is 2-0 with a 1.29 ERA in his lastfour home starts while walking four and striking out 19 asopposed to an 0-3 mark with a 5.83 ERA in four outings on theroad.


The righthander extended his home success with Tuesday's 4-0 winover the Los Angeles Dodgers. He allowed six hits and no walkswith five strikeouts over 6 2/3 innings.


Arroyo is 2-3 with a 3.49 ERA in five starts vs. San Diego.
