The Chicago Cubs defeated the Minnesota Twins, 9-4, in Federal League action at Metrodome, with Chicago second baseman Scott Cooper named player of the game. Chicago reliever Mike Schooler picked up the win, bumping his record to 1-1. Jerry Spradlin was collared with the loss. The Twins fall to 4-9 and continue their lackluster start in 1997.

Cooper went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 3 against the Twins. With the game tied in the top of the eighth inning, he hit a 2-run single that scored 2 and put Chicago in front, 6-4.

"We did more than enough to get the win," said Cooper.
