Foresta Hits Two Homers in 10-7 Win for Chicago
Chicago and Minnesota duked it out and the Cubs came out victorious.

The 10-7 Chicago win over Minnesota was due largely to Kevin Foresta. The Cubs left fielder was 2-4 with 2 home runs and a walk, while adding 7 RBI and scoring twice. This win makes it 5 in a row for Chicago.

With Chicago leading 1-0 in the top of the third, Foresta hit a changeup from Chris Macy for a grand slam home run. It was his 6th home run of the season and put the Cubs ahead, 5-0.

"I like our mindset right now," said Chicago manager Vasili Spanos.
