Twins Lose to Cubs, 12-5
The 2018 season is getting ugly for Minnesota.

The Chicago Cubs knocked off the Minnesota Twins, 12-5, at Wrigley Field. Yoan Moncada, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason Chicago won. The second baseman went 2 for 4 with 2 doubles and 2 walks. He scored 2 runs and drove in 2. Jacob Faria got credit for the win, improving to 5-5. He allowed 4 runs on 5 hits in 6 innings.

Zack Cozart was 1-4 with a walk. He drove in 2 runs and scored once for Chicago. The 32-year old third baseman had a key at-bat in the bottom of the third. With one out and the bases loaded, he broke a 2-2 tie with a run-scoring walk off Tanner Scott. It was his 29th walk of the season.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Cozart said after the game.

The last-place Twins have lost 4 consecutive games.
