Twins Come Back Late to Top Cubs, 6-3
The Minnesota Twins knocked off the Chicago Cubs, 6-3, at Wrigley Field. Jo Adell was a big reason Minnesota won. The right fielder went 2-3 with 2 singles and a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once. The Cubs fall to 8-14 and continue their lackluster start to the 2024 season.

Minnesota used the clutch hitting of Parker Meadows to capture the win. The center fielder drilled a 2-run double in the top of the eighth inning to give the Twins the lead, 5-3. For the game, Meadows had 1 single and 1 double in 4 at-bats.

Adell attributed the win to "energy and focus on the part of everyone."
