Peavy (6-1, 1.63 ERA) is 3-0 with a 1.00 ERA in his last four starts. He allowed one run and four hits over six innings in a 5-1 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday.
After recording 46 strikeouts over four starts from April 25-May 11, Peavy has struck out only 11 over his last two outings for San Diego (28-21). The right-hander still has a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 4.05, second in the NL to teammate Greg Maddux.
Peavy is 1-2 with a 3.51 ERA in six career starts against the Brewers.
Milwaukee (28-21) has hit 65 home runs to tie Cincinnati for the NL lead, but the Brewers head into Sunday’s finale of a six-game road trip trying to avoid a season-high fifth straight loss. They fell for the 11th time in 15 games with a 6-3 loss on Saturday.
With the win, San Diego moved into a tie for first place in the NL West with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Padres are seeking their first three-game sweep of the Brewers since July 20-22, 2001.
The Brewers’ Jeff Suppan (6-4, 3.49) will face the Padres for the first time since last year’s NL Division Series while with St. Louis. Suppan allowed three runs over 4 1-3 innings in a 3-1 loss in Game 3, but the Cardinals won the next game to capture the series.
The veteran right-hander is 3-2 with a 6.56 ERA in seven regular-season starts against the Padres. He’s 1-1 with a 7.36 ERA while surrendering four homers over 11 innings in two outings at Petco Park.
Suppan avoided a third straight loss by allowing four runs in six-plus innings in a 9-5 victory at the Los Angeles Dodgers on Monday.
Jake Peavy comes into this contest with a projected era of 1.41 and Suppan at 5.04
