Peavy was a unanimous selection for the 2007 National League Cy Young Award, becoming the fourth San Diego hurler in franchise history to garner the honor. He paced the senior circuit with 19 wins, a 2.54 ERA (63 ER/223.1 IP) and 240 strikeouts, joining Randy Johnson (2002) as the only pitchers in the last 22 years to lead the National League in wins, ERA and strikeouts in the same season. Peavy’s ERA and strikeout total also led all Major League pitchers in 2007, while he finished second in the Majors with a .208 opponent batting average behind teammate Chris Young (.192). Additionally, the right-hander established career highs in wins, starts (34), innings pitched and strikeouts, while his six losses tied a career low.
Peavy earned three National League Pitcher of the Month honors during the 2007 campaign, receiving the distinction in May, August and September. A two-time National League All-Star (2005, 2007), Peavy was named the National League’s starting pitcher at the 2007 Midsummer Classic in San Francisco. His 240 strikeouts in 2007 rank second on the Padres all-time single-season list (Kevin Brown, 257 in 1998) and he tallied a Major League-best nine games with at least 10 strikeouts. Peavy tied his own club record with 16 strikeouts on April 25 at Arizona, fanning nine consecutive batters in that game to set a Padres record and fall one short of Tom Seaver’s Major League mark (April 22, 1970 vs. San Diego).

On May 22 vs. Atlanta, he struck out a franchise-record 16 batters, tying the highest strikeout total for an outing in the Majors in 2006 (Jason Schmidt). He tallied five games with at least 10 strikeouts in 2006, giving him 15 in his career, which ties him for the franchise record with Andy Benes (1989-1995). On July 26 at the Dodgers, he went 2-for-3 with a home run, a double and four RBIs.
