Braves' Matt Wisler outdueled by birthday man Jake Peavy in Giants win

Both starting pitchers were phenomenal.

Matt Wisler and Jake Peavy matched each other pitch-for-pitch much of the night, but a rough eighth inning was the Atlanta Braves' undoing in a 4-0 loss to the San Francisco Giants on Tuesday night at Turner Field, as the Giants' pitchers hurled a combined one-hit shutout

Peavy (2-5) turned 35 years old on Tuesday, and made his own birthday gift, spinning a gem. He did not allow a baserunner until Tyler Flowers' base hit in the fifth inning. Flowers was doubled up to end the inning.
