By locking in to the fastball, Will Venable sets himself up for the breaking balls. And when those pitches come, particularly up in the zone, he hasn't been missing many. Venable drove in the first of the San Diego Padres' two runs in the first inning and hit a two-run homer to cushion the lead, helping the Padres avoid a three-game sweep with a 5-1 win over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Wednesday night.
