Rivera, Padres March to 12-3 Victory
The San Diego Padres finished off the Minnesota Twins, 12-3. Much of the credit belonged to center fielder Ruben Rivera. Rivera was 3-4 with 2 doubles and a walk. He drove in 4 runs and scored once for the Padres. Paul Wilson, the winning pitcher, is now 9-12. He went 6.1 innings, allowing 3 runs on 2 hits, while fanning 4 and walking 2. The 17th-place Twins have dropped 5 straight games.

Early in the game, Rivera had a 2-run double for San Diego. It was his 9th double of the season and put the Padres on top, 2-0.

"This was one of those games you love to be a part of," said Rivera.
