Padres starter out with fractured rib

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 4 (UPI) -- San Diego Padres starting pitcher Jake Peavy suffered a fractured rib Tuesday and will miss the rest of the playoffs.

Peavy came out of Tuesday's loss to the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 1 of the National League Division Series after 4 1/3 innings and complained of pain on his right side. He gave up eight runs and eight hits while also striking out three and walking three in his team's 8-5 loss.

Peavy is expected to miss at least a month, making it doubtful he will pitch again this postseason.

During the regular season, Peavy finished with a 13-7 record and a 2.88 earned run average. He also struck out a NL-leading 216 batters.
