Minnesota starter Casey Jones had a strong outing against the Chicago Cubs at Target Field. The right-hander was a big part of his team's 4-2 win. Reliever Andrew Kindig picked up the win. His record improves to 3-3. Randy Budgell took the loss. The save went to Tony Ramirez, number 2 for him.

Minnesota took a 3-2 lead on Matt Dunn's 17th home run of the season. The solo home run, which Dunn hit in the bottom of the seventh, left Chicago pitcher Randy Budgell shaking his head.

"Feels good to get the job done," Dunn said after the game.

Minnesota is now riding a 3-game win streak.
