Jake Peavy Moment Number 2: Peavy’s First Post-Season Win

Jake Peavy was brought in to help the Giants win the World Series again and his performance in the National League Division Series was exactly what they had in mind. Peavy only allowed 2 hits over 5 2/3 shutout innings. The Giants would go onto win the game and the series. It was the signature performance from Peavy that post-season and it got the Giants off to the start they desperately needed against the powerful Washington Nationals.
