Padres’ Peavy stifles Giants in opener, 7-0

Jake Peavy sparkled in six shutout innings and the San Diego Padres beat the San Francisco Giants, 7-0, Tuesday in front of a sellout crowd of 42,773 in the season opener for both clubs, giving Bud Black a victory in his debut as a major league manager against predecessor Bruce Bochy.

“That’s the way you draw it up,” Peavy said. “Put some zeros on the board and make it hold up.”

Barry Bonds, who needs 22 home runs to surpass Hank Aaron’s career record of 755, had a single on a day when the Giants matched their most lopsided loss in an opener in 75 years. It was the first opening-day shutout for the Padres.

Barry Zito, San Francisco’s $126-million ace, was making his National League debut after spending his first seven seasons with Oakland.

Black, the former longtime Angels pitching coach, received the game ball after the final out.

“That’s pretty special,” Black said. “It’s one game. We all know it’s just one game of many. But it’s a good win. I’m happy for all the guys in that room who helped me get this.”
