Harden Dominates In Spring Debut

Rich Harden dominated the Padres in his Cactus League debut Sunday, striking out five over two scoreless innings of relief. The elbow strain that cost Harden most of the second half last year was the result of repeatedly hyperextending his arm while throwing his changeup, but he's cleaned up his mechanics and looked as sharp as ever Sunday. "For how early it is, I felt really strong," said the 25-year-old right-hander. "I'm not feeling stress on any part of my body."
