"It's widely known that fly balls carry well during warm weather at U.S. Cellular Field.

But Jake Peavy said he wasn't aware of the park's penchant for playing small under he allowed three consecutive doubles and two two-run home runs in the first inning of a 7-6 loss to Minnesota.

"I don't know what to say," Peavy said. "That first inning was unbelievable."

There weren't many swings and misses, aside from a strikeout of Danny Valencia on a 90 mph pitch for the second out of the inning. But Peavy couldn't put away Rene Tosoni, who hit a single, and Luke Hughes capped the rally with a two-run home run to left.

"They were hitting the ball to left field, and the ball was travelling to left field pretty well," Peavy said. "Obviously, I didn't make a lot of good pitches. I don't know. They got the ball in the air to left field, and that's all you needed to do. You look at balls Jason Kubel hit, and that's a home run."

Peavy fell to 6-7, and he's now 0-5 with a 7.46 ERA in his past seven home starts. He's scheduled to face the Twins again on Tuesday at Target Field."
