"Adrian Gonzalez was familiar with what Chicago White Sox pitcher Jake Peavy had to offer on Monday night at Fenway Park.

The two were teammates for several years with the San Diego Padres. Now, both are with different American League clubs, and both are producing.

On Monday, Peavy got the best of the Red Sox, picking up his second win of the season, allowing only three earned runs over seven innings of work.

Gonzalez had his say, though, in the first time the two have ever squared off. The Red Sox' slugger went 2-for-4 with a home run. It was a solo shot into the White Sox' bullpen in the top of the first inning.

"He mixed it up," said Gonzalez. "He didn't repeat too many things. He kept using every pitch and both sides of the plate, and just kept everybody off balance."
