The Chicago Cubs got a superb performance from pitcher Mike Hampton, but the Minnesota Twins still won the game, 3-1. Hampton was named the player of the game despite the loss. He threw 7 innings of 4-hit ball. Jerry Spradlin picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 2-0. Mike Holtz was tagged with the loss. The Twins have stumbled out of the gate, getting only their 4th win in 12 games.

Minnesota took a 3-1 lead on Kal Daniels's 5th home run of the season. The 2-run home run came off Chicago pitcher Mike Schooler in the bottom of the 12th.

Daniels attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
