Jake Peavy struck out every batter he faced in the second, third and fourth innings on Wednesday, finishing with 16 for the night.

San Diego’s previous record for consecutive strikeouts in a game was six, shared by four pitchers.

Black decided seven innings and 117 pitches were enough for Peavy, whose career high for pitches is 128. Black called on Scott Linebrink, who gave up a leadoff homer in the eighth to pinch-hitter Miguel Montero.

Hoffman (1-1) relieved to start the ninth, walked Tracy with one out, then allowed Drew’s homer on a 3-1 changeup.

With one swing, Drew had spoiled Peavy’s night and snapped Arizona’s five-game losing streak. Tony Pena (2-1) earned the victory with a scoreless ninth inning.

“I put a good swing on it,” Drew said. “It’s a good feeling to lift the team when we’re kind of struggling like this. Gosh, we keep battling.”

Hoffman, baseball’s all-time saves leader, blew a save for the first time in five chances. Hoffman said he wasn’t surprised to see the fat pitch sail over the fence.

“That usually happens when you give good hitters pitches like that,” Hoffman said. “Unfortunately, that’s going to be talked about and not the great pitching performances by both Jake Peavy and Brandon Webb.”

Webb, the Cy Young winner, allowed two runs on six hits in eight innings. He walked one and struck out six.

Kevin Kouzmanoff hit an RBI double in the second and Terrmel Sledge homered in the fourth. Sledge, who came in 1-for-10 against Webb, finished 3-for-4.

Webb said he felt he needed to be almost perfect to give his team a chance.

“Whenever they’ve got somebody out there throwing like that, you’ve got to really bear down,” Webb said. “I kept us in the game as much as possible.”

Notes: Hoffman pitched in his 801st career game, all with the Padres. Only Walter Johnson of the Washington Senators and Elroy Face of the Pittsburgh Pirates made more appearances with one team, both with 802 games. ... Peavy became the Padres’ career leader in double-digit strikeout games with 16, passing Andy Benes (1989-1995). ... Linebrink struck out two men, which gave the Padres 18 for the game, tying a club record set against Atlanta on May 22, 2006. Peavy also started that game. ... The Padres had not blown a lead all season.
