Padilla no longer hitting his spots

But he is hitting everyone else. Back-to-back hit batters forced in a run in the fifth inning. His strikeout total is stuck at eight and he's at 97 pitches through five innings (68 for strikes). Maybe he's trying to live up to the reputation he earned in Sports Illustrated when he was named the pitcher who headhunts the most. It's 3-1 going into the bottom of the fifth.
