BOSTON -- Jake Peavys known for studying hitters. It certainly gave him an edge against his former teammates. Peavy pitched seven strong innings, Jacoby Ellsbury had three hits and the Boston Red Sox beat the Chicago White Sox 7-2 on Saturday night for their sixth win in seven games. Acquired in a three-team, seven-player deal July 30 that sent infielder Jose Iglesias to Detroit, Peavy spent four seasons with the White Sox. The 32-year old right-hander went 36-29 after being picked up in a trade from San Diego on July 31, 2009. "I certainly knew that team in and out," he said. "I did know pretty much for the most part what they were going to do. I think that worked pretty much to my advantage." Peavy (11-5) allowed two runs and five singles in his sixth start for the Red Sox. He struck out four and walked one while throwing 109 pitches. Even White Sox manager Robin Ventura could see him working his hitters a certain way. "Hes good at seeing some weaknesses at people and he tried to exploit them," he said. "Today you could see him do it. You could see what he was trying to do. I dont know if its that easy at the plate, but, from afar, when youre sitting back, you could see him do it." Ellsbury also scored twice and drove in a run for the AL East-leaders. David Ortiz, who snapped an 0-for-23 stretch with a two-run single in Fridays win, went 2 for 4 with a walk and an RBI in Bostons 15-hit attack. It was the 11th straight game Bostons pitchers have held an opponent to three or fewer runs, matching the best since April of 1988. According to Elias Sports Bureau, its the most since 12 in a row in 1915. "Im certainly happy I wasnt the one to end it," Peavy said, smiling. Chicago, last in the AL Central, had won 10 of 12 before dropping the first two of a three-game series against Boston. Boston broke open a tie game with three runs in the fourth against John Danks (4-11), and then scored again in the fifth. That was more than enough for Peavy. "I dont think Jake can be any more amped up than he is in any game," Danks said. "He looked like typical Jake. He had a pretty good game plan and stuck to it. Thats why hes had the success hes had over how many years hes played. Hes certainly one of the best thats played." Ellsburys tiebreaking ground-rule double gave the Red Sox a 3-2 lead. Dustin Pedroia then drove in run with a groundout before Ortiz lined an RBI single to left. Rookie Xander Bogaerts, regarded as one of the top prospects in baseball, added an RBI single in the fifth that made it 6-2. Danks gave up six runs, five earned, and 11 hits over five innings. He had won his previous two starts, allowing only two runs in 14 innings. "I knew I had to be good and simply wasnt," he said. "Jake did what he has to do with a lead." The Red Sox had grabbed a 1-0 lead in the first on Mike Napolis RBI single. Chicago tied it on Alejandro De Azas run-scoring groundout. Jonny Gomes doubled home a run in the third, but the White Sox tied it again on Avisail Garcias RBI single.
