Likely Scenario:

Minato and Pein meet on the battle field. Since it wasn't stated they would know about each other, they have no clue who the enemy is that stands before them. All they do know is they have to kill each other. Since this Pein has all Pein abilities, he would likely start off by summoning since this is usually his first move always in a fight. He summons the creatures, meanwhile Minato is tossing his Kunai around. He even throws some at Pein since this is a common tactic Minato does, shown in his fight with the Raikage and his fight against Obito. Minato according to the DP, is in Sage Mode and has mastery over it, so he conjures fourth a Senjutsu infused Rasengan. As the Kunai get's near Pein, Pein either dodges or repulses it away. Either way, Minato instantly appears where his Raijin is, and with his top base speeds increased insanely by the Sage Mode, he blitz Pein, hitting him with a Senjutsu Rasengan. (This is where things get complicated, does Pein retain knowledge on his fight with Naruto? If so, it results in a stalemate) The reason being Preta Path will absorb the Rasengan. Pein if he has no knowledge of Naruto, will try to absorb the Senjutsu from Minato at that moment, and lose. With knowledge on Sage Mode, he won't. He might not even try to absorb the Senjutsu infused Rasengan. If he doesn't he dies from the blow. If he does and doesn't turn to stone, he tries to hit Minato, but Minato is just too fast for him or any of the summoning's to hit. Minato will continually use his speed to hit Pein with a Senjutsu infused Rasengan, and eventually turn Pein into stone. I don't see Pein winning cause he does not possess the capability of hitting Minato in Sage Mode. Even if he were to pull him in, Minato can teleport to Konohagakure and then return in an instant. It's instant, not a second or two, instant. If this method fails however, I can see Minato using what Naruto did, using the nature energy to hit him up close then capitalizing on it with enhanced strength granted by Sage Mode, destroying the puppet. I just can't see Pein capable of hitting Minato.
