Chicago Edges Minnesota, 5-4
In the 5-4 Chicago win over Minnesota, the impact of Juan Vijil was substantial. Vijil, who is tied for 10th in the NL in stolen bases with 35, was 2-4 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. The Cubs now have a record of 76-63 with the win over Minnesota.

Vijil had a big at-bat with a runner on 2nd in the bottom of the first inning, when he hit a 2-run home run. The Cubs went on to win.

"We played hard and won," said Vijil. "Sometimes, baseball really is that easy.'
