With right fielder Larry Walker leading the charge, the Minnesota Twins defeated the Chicago Cubs, 6-3, at Metrodome. Walker, who finished 3rd in the FL in extra base hits with 83 in 1994, was 1 for 3 with a home run and a walk, while scoring 2 times and driving in 2. Trevor Hoffman got the save, his 10th in 14 chances. The 5th-place Twins have won 7 consecutive games.

The game turned with two out in the bottom of the fifth when Walker, who is a four-time All-Star, hit a 2-run home run. It propelled the Twins into the lead, 5-3.

"I like the roll we're on right now," said Walker after the game.
