Twins Jolt Cubs with Late Rally
Chicago got a terrific performance from third baseman Willie Greene, but it wasn't enough to beat the Minnesota Twins. Minnesota won the Metrodome contest, 5-2. Greene was the player of the game despite being on the losing side. He went 2-3 with 2 home runs and a walk. Minnesota is now 18-21.

A crucial at-bat came with a runner on 1st and no one out in the bottom of the eighth inning. That's when right fielder Larry Walker, who finished 4th in the FL in doubles with 40 in 1994, hit a single. The Twins went on to win.

"We cashed in when we had the chance," said Minnesota manager Darren Fischbach.
