Padres Continue Skid Thanks to Pena, Athletics
The Oakland Athletics defeated the San Diego Padres, 5-3, at Oakland Coliseum today. Leading the charge for Oakland was second baseman Geronimo Pena. He hit 3 home runs, while adding 4 RBI and scoring three times. Jason Bere earned the save, his 1st, for the Athletics. The Padres fall to 10-13 and continue their lackluster start in 1997.

Pena contributed a big hit, a 2-run home run, for Oakland in the bottom of the sixth. With his team trailing 3-2, Pena took a slider from Doug Drabek and stroked the home run to left. His 6th home run of the season allowed the Athletics to leap in front, 4-3.

"I just try to see the ball and put a good swing on it," said Pena.
