The fifth one was the charm for Chase Headley and the Padres on Monday night at PNC Park.
The Padres third baseman had his first career five-hit night and finished a triple shy of a cycle, but it was the fifth and final hit, an 11th-inning double against reliever Jeff Karstens, that led to an 11-6 win and allowed San Diego to head to Colorado having taken three out of four from Pittsburgh.
“He had big hits,” an appreciative manager Bud Black said. “I liked the fact he was getting the ball down the right-field line, getting the head out. He showed straightaway power as well and got the ball down the left-field line for a double, too. That’s hitting, when you go line-to-line with a homer to straightaway center. That tells me he’s seeing the ball. He’s hitting it where it’s pitched.”

Grady Fuson, the Padres’ vice president of scouting and player development, said Tuesday that Tate, who on Aug. 17 agreed to a club-record $6.25 million signing bonus, said the injury is “nothing serious” and that Tate will be on anti-inflammatory medicine for about 10 days.
