The St. Louis Cardinals and San Francisco Giants face off for Game 2 of the National League Championship Series on Sunday night. The Cardinals will be looking to even things up against the Giants, who took a 1-0 series lead with a 3-0 victory in Saturday night’s series opener.
33-year-oldJake Peavywill start for the Giants tonight. He’s pitched in three career postseason games against the Giants, one of which came in last year’s World Series, when he gave up two earned runs on six hits, receiving a no decision for the Boston Red Sox, who went on to lose Game 3 on a memorable interference call onWill Middlebrooks.
Peavy also started two games against the Cards in the early part of his career with the San Diego Padres, giving up eight earned runs on eight hits and three walks over 4.1 innings, taking the loss in Game 1 of the 2005 NLDS. He then took another loss in Game 1 of the next year’s NLDS, giving up five earned on 11 hits and a walk over 5.1 innings.
While Peavy has had his fair share of struggles against the Cardinals, his opponent,Lance Lynn, has struggled against the Giants in his own right. Lynn started two games of the 2012 NLCS, giving up four earned runs on five hits and two walks in 3.2 innings while receiving a no decision in Game 1, and then taking the loss in Game 5, throwing 3.2 innings while giving up four hits and two walks, leading to four runs, none of which were earned.
