  • Peavy shuts down struggling Tigers 8-0 (AP)

    Detroit Tigers' Aubrey Huff(notes), left, and Alex Avila(notes) watch from the dugout in the ninth inning of their 8-0 loss to the Chicago White Sox in a baseball game Friday, Oct. 2, 2009 in Detroit. Detroit lost for the fourth time in six games, all while the Twins were taking a big lead against Kansas City.

    Jake Peavy delivered the kind of performance the Detroit Tigers desperately need. Peavy delayed Detroit's chance to move closer to the AL Central title, pitching the Chicago White Sox past the slumping Tigers 8-0 Friday night. Detroit's lead was cut to one game by Minnesota, which beat Kansas City 10-7.
