Myers, Olivares hit homers; Padres shut out Indians

PEORIA, Ariz. —

The Padres beat the Indians 8-0 on Wednesday at the Peoria Sports Complex.

Batter’s box: Wil Myers’ primary focus since the end of a disappointing 2019 has been staying with pitches longer, allowing his quick hands and raw strength to accomplish what many batters can’t — do damage on pitches that have traveled further across the plate. So his home run in the sixth inning was particularly gratifying in that it was a line drive over the right field wall. Myers also singled and is 3-for-8 in three games. … Edward Olivares, the Padres’ 16th-ranked prospect, homered.
