Perdomo managed to last six innings despite a rough beginning. Miguel Sano's 25th home run, a Statcast-project 428-foot blast off Perdomo in the sixth, gave Minnesota some extra breathing room.
MOMENTS THAT MATTERED
Runs Batted Erv-In: With runners on second and third and two outs in the second inning, the Padres elected to intentionally walk Twins eight-hole hitter Jason Castro, loading the bases for Santana. He made them pay with a well-placed grounder that dribbled up the right-field line, scoring a pair. Santana's five RBIs this season not only lead American League pitchers, but also tie an MLB record for most Interleague RBIs by a pitcher.
