Peavy burned by long ball as SF’s slide continues
SAN FRANCISCO — The box score doesn’t come with a narrative. It provides only a set of numbers and a few added tangents of the game. It doesn’t tell you that Jake Peavy was brilliant until he wasn’t. It doesn’t tell you the common thread in his second-half struggles. It doesn’t tell you how badly…
