Myers drives in 5, Padres spoil Reds' big day with 13-4 win
CINCINNATI (AP) Wil Myers drove in five runs and Melvin Upton Jr. had a pair of two-run homers on Friday night as the San Diego Padres scored in each of the first eight innings of a 13-4 victory that spoiled the start of Cincinnati's Big Red Machine weekend.
The National League's top-scoring team in June kept at it, hitting four homers. San Diego is averaging 5.86 runs in the month.
Myers had a solo shot off Cody Reed (0-1) in the first, singled home a run and had a bases-loaded double. Adam Rosales also had a solo homer.
Colin Rea (4-3) got the win by going five innings and allowing four runs, only one earned.
The Reds honored their 1976 World Series championship team on the field pregame, and players wore throwback uniforms to the days of the Big Red Machine. Pete Rose, who will be inducted into the team's Hall of Fame and have his No. 14 officially retired over the weekend, was the last player introduced.
