The Cubs grabbed a win, 2-1, at Target Field, overcoming a fine effort from Minnesota pitcher Brandon Pfaadt. Pfaadt went 6 innings and allowed 2 runs. Andres Munoz closed out the game, earning his 22nd save. Chicago improves to 53-39 with the win. They lead their division by 7 games.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Giancarlo Stanton? The Chicago designated hitter had a run-scoring double in the top of the third inning to put the Cubs on top, 2-0. For the game, Stanton had 1 double and 1 single in 2 at-bats.

"Enjoyed this one," Stanton told the Chicago Citizen. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
