Cubs Nip Twins, 5-4
The Chicago Cubs besoiled an otherwise fine performance by Minnesota left fielder Wilyer Abreu by beating the Twins, 5-4, at Wrigley Field. Abreu was 2 for 5 with a home run. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. The Cubs lead the National League Central Division by 2½ games.

Chicago took a 5-4 lead on Junior Caminero's 1st double of the season. The 2-run double, which Caminero hit in the bottom of the eighth, left Minnesota pitcher Alex Young visibly frustrated.

"We ground out the win," said Caminero. "That's all that matters."
