Cubs Suffer 10-2 Road Loss
Minnesota left-hander Ralph Anderson pitched his team to victory over the Chicago Cubs at Target Field. The final score was 10-2. The save went to Mike Rutledge, number 1 for him. The Cubs fall to 8-11 and continue their lackluster start to the 2171 season.

The Twins got a big hit from catcher Keith Grimes. Facing Chicago pitcher Aca Sesely in the bottom of the eighth, Grimes pounded a grand slam home run to left. His 1st home run of the season put the Twins ahead, 10-2.

"I was just taking it batter by batter, just enjoying the moment," said Anderson.
