For the umpteenth time this season, Rookie Simeon Woods Richardson provided the Twins with a huge pick-me-up. The Twins were not in a good way Wednesday afternoon as they entered the finale of their road trip and a tough series against the Padres. Coming off two excruciating losses in three days, the Twins were flirting with a disastrous end to a road trip that got off to an encouraging start with three straight victories.

Austin Martin scored and twice doubled to drive in runs, Edouard Julien had four hits, Willi Castro reached base four times and Matt Wallner blasted a three-run home run as the Twins routed the Padres 11-4 in front of 36,589 at Petco Park. The Twins finished the road trip with a 4-3 record and ended a trying stretch of 14 contests in 13 days with an 8-6 mark. They also gained a game on the Guardians moving to within 2 1/2 games of the American League Central lead. The Twin head home to start a three-game set vs the visiting St. Louis Cardinals on Friday night at Target Field starting at 7:10 p.m.
