    After waiting out a rain delay that lasted about as long as a normal game, Jake Peavy was convinced he could go back to the mound.

    Giants manager Bruce Bochy wasn't about to stop him.

    "He was so adamant that he was good to go," Bochy said. "I think it would have crushed him not to go back out there. You just trust Jake."

    Peavy ended up pitching six innings -- three before the delay and three after it -- without allowing an earned run, and San Francisco routed the Detroit Tigers 8-2 on Friday night.
