Peña Slugs 300th Home Run
Monday, May 18th , 2054
Minnesota defeated Jersey Shore today 8-6 and took some of the joy out of Sixto Peña's 300th career home run.
"I just wanted to get a good swing on the ball all day," Peña said. "And I did."
Despite the loss, it was a good game for the 33-year-old D-Bags second baseman. He had 2 hits, scored 3 runs and had 2 RBI.
The North Stars manager said, "You could see he was aggressive up there. The worst thing we did was throw him a strike. It probably would have been better if we threw the ball outside of the strike zone every time he came to the plate because he seemed like he was in a hurry to get it over with."
In his 1489-game career Peña is batting .259 with 1432 hits, 301 home runs, 845 runs scored and 896 RBIs.
