With Myrtle Beach leading 1-0 in the bottom of the first, Rivera hit a forkball from Don Jensen for a 3-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Pelicans ahead, 4-0.

"The name of the game is scoring runs," Rivera said. "We did a good job of that today."

The second-place Pelicans now sit at 65-71.
