Minnesota beat Chicago at Target Field, escaping with a 8-7 win. The win in large part was due to designated hitter Jay Bruce, who earned player of the game honors. He belted 2 home runs. He drove in 3 runs and scored twice. Minnesota reliever Joe Kelly got the win, raising his record to 5-5. Blake Weiman was tagged with the loss. Tommy Kahnle, credited with the save, is now 12 for 14 in save opportunities.

Derek Dietrich came through for Minnesota with a 2-run home run in the bottom of the seventh. The third baseman was a perfect 3 for 3 in the game, including 1 home run and 2 singles. He scored 1 run and collected 2 runs batted in.

"It was a solid team effort and we'll try to keep this momentum going," Dietrich told reporters after the game.

At 56-94, the Twins are currently last in the American League Central Division.
