Cubs Prove Rude Guests, Win 5-1 at Minnesota
The Chicago Cubs went home winners at Metrodome, thanks in large part to starter Brian Holman. Holman silenced the Minnesota Twins, enabling Chicago to grab the 5-1 win. The 5th-place Cubs are now 56-67, the Twins 54-69.

One significant at-bat for Chicago came with runners on 1st and 2nd in the top of the fifth. Cubs second baseman Jeff Frye hit a run-scoring double, which helped Chicago go on to win.

"We'll pop the top on a cold one and get back to work tomorrow," Holman said.
