The Chicago (N) Cubs handed the Minnesota Twins a loss at Wrigley Field. The final score was 10-2. Don Young was one of the major contributors for Chicago (N).

He pitched 7 innings, giving up 7 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 6 and walking 2. The defeat makes Minnesota 54-55.

With Chicago (N) trailing 1-0 in the bottom of the fourth, Young hit a slider from Vern Law for a grand slam home run. It was his 10th home run of the season and put the Cubs ahead, 4-1.

"In baseball, you have your ups and downs," said Minnesota manager Dan Hornbaker. "You just try to stay level-headed the whole time."
