Adrian Olivares (born 1978) is a Mexican singer. Blonde and blue eyed, Adrian became, in 1990, the first non-Puerto Rican member of Venezuela and Argentina also joined. But then controversy rattled the group, as a drug arrest in Miami International Airport against members Sergio Glass and Ruben Gomez and a sex scandal involving Edgardo Diaz and former member Ralphy Rodriguez threatened the music group. Out of all the members of that Menudo line-up, only Olivares remained in the group after the controversies had cleared.
Olivares retired from Menudo when he reached mandatory retirement age, at 16, in 1994. He is rumored to be starting a new band in Mexico, named Maremotto.
Olivares combined with three relievers on a four-hitter, and John Vander Wal hit a three-run homer as the Pittsburgh Pirates beat the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-1 Tuesday night.
Olivares, taken out after giving up a one-out walk to Gary Sheffield in the sixth, was followed by Terry Mulholland, Bronson Arroyo and Jose Silva, who surrendered a ninth-inning RBI double to Kreuter.
Olivares, 33, was acquired by Pittsburgh from Oakland on March 28 after he lost the fifth spot in the Athletics' starting rotation to Cory Lidle.
