Padilla knocks out Rowand, Velez and Nate to start.

Vicente Padilla pegged Aaron Rowand last night on a high fastball that hit his ear and part of his cheek. He was taken to the hospital and sustained two small fractures on his cheek.

Starting in CF today will be Eugenio Velez who had a 9th inning 3R jack in last night’s losing effort. Nate will start in RF. Wonder why Bochy is making the RF switch and sitting Bowker given today’s RHP.

Headed to Dodger stadium in a few minutes and will post from the game.

Ring ‘em up, Timmy…
