Braves get nothing going vs. Peavy

ATLANTA — Jake Peavy celebrated his 35th birthday by completing his most impressive start of the season and setting the stage for Denard Span to deliver a triple that proved decisive for the Giants during Tuesday night’s 4-0 win over the Braves at Turner Field.

Span’s sixth-inning RBI triple provided the only run necessary for the Giants, who have won 16 of their past 19 games. Peavy surrendered just one hit as he faced the minimum over seven scoreless innings. The veteran right-hander held the Braves hitless until Tyler Flowers opened the bottom of the fifth inning with a single.

Braves starter Matt Wisler surrendered four hits and three runs over seven-plus innings. The young hurler exited after surrendering a Gregor Blanco double that fueled San Francisco’s three-run eighth inning.
