He wasn't anywhere near the plate with his off speed stuff. Gave up started throwing fastballs, which were crushed.
Phillips should have knocked that down. But leake looked gross.
Two playable balls that a healthy Phillips would have gobbled up would have drastically changed the outcome of Mike Leake's outing.

Now the trainer is out to look at Grandal
Definitely an oblique. Feel for Grandal.
This will not change until the Reds win the World Series.......

Padres dropping like flies.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
Grandal is coming out.
At this rate, SD won't have enough left to play.
This is the ol Left Hander rounding third and heading for home.
Gotta get a pitcher out when he can't find the plate and is throwing batting practice, too. What a way to bring the home crowd down after a big winning streak.

Finesse pitchers have these types of games from time to time (see Arroyo, Bronson).
Remember who's pitching for the Padres. This game isn't over
