Myers’ two-run homer caps five-run inning

In the Padres’ 8-4 victory over the Giants at Petco Park, Wil Myers crushed a long two-run homer into the home bullpen in the bottom of the second inning. It was his 11th of the year. Padres left-hander Robbie Erlin was mostly sharp over five innings. He faltered only once, in the top of the second inning, when he allowed a three-run double to Chris Stratton, the opposing pitcher. Freddy Galvis extended the Padres’ lead with a three-run shot in the bottom of the eighth.
