Cubs Lose to Twins in Walk Off
The Minnesota Twins picked up a win at Metrodome, knocking off the Chicago Cubs, 4-3. Starting pitcher Hideo Nomo, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason why. Minnesota reliever Trevor Hoffman picked up the win, upping his record to 4-5. Frank DiPino absorbed the loss. Minnesota has a 6-game win streak, while Chicago has lost 3 in a row.

Late-game drama came in the bottom of the ninth inning. With two out and a runner on 1st, the batter, Mark Grudzielanek, hit a single. It helped Minnesota seize the win.

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