Chicago beat Minnesota in a rain-soaked ballgame.

Chicago third baseman Christopher Morel was a significant contributor in his team's 11-2 triumph over the Minnesota Twins. He was 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 3 for Chicago. The winner was Marcus Stroman, who threw 88 pitches over 6.2 innings. The right-hander was charged with 2 runs on 8 hits.

The Cubs got an important contribution from catcher Yan Gomes, who in the bottom of the fourth punched a 0-2 curveball into center for a bases-clearing double. It was his 16th double of the season and put the Cubs ahead, 4-0.

"Hitting, winning. It's just contagious," said Morel.

Chicago has run its win streak to 7 in a row.
