Cubs Come Back Late to Top Twins
The Minnesota Twins and Chicago Cubs cranked it up at Metrodome.

Chicago beat Minnesota on the strength of starter Eric King's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a 9-3 win. The Cubs bumped their record to 76-51 with this latest triumph.

Chicago used the bat of Mike Piazza to get the win. The catcher hammered a solo home run in the top of the eighth inning to put the Cubs ahead, 4-3. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"It feels good to get this one," Piazza told the Chicago Citizen.
