OAKLAND -- Jake Peavy began using teammate Albert Suarez's glove four starts ago. He had given his own gamer to a kid and realized he didn't have a broken-in replacement.
Peavy pitched well with the borrowed leather, and well, there are few forces in baseball more potent than superstition.Maybe Suarez's glove lost its mojo in the Giants' 7-1 loss to the A's Wednesday night. The rest of the Giants' gloves most certainly did. The defense let down over and over behind Peavy, especially in the outfield, and the right-hander's usual fire on the mound became a spewing rage after Angel Pagan's third misplay of the night.
