He lasted 5 innings, allowing 1 earned run on 5 hits, while striking out 4. With the win, he raised his record to 11-8. The current losing streak for Minnesota has reached 5 games.

Geronimo Pena had a big 2-run single for the Cubs in the bottom of the fourth inning. With Chicago leading 2-1 and the bases loaded, he got a changeup from Chris Nabholz and stroked the single to right. It was his 121st hit of the season, and more importantly, it put the Cubs ahead, 4-1.

"Been a rough stretch for us," said Minnesota manager Darren Fischbach.
