Chicago Cubs Quick Takes: Summer Camp Edition Part 3

The Chicago Cubs faced the Minnesota Twins for the last part of Summer Camp.

The Cubs squeaked by the Minnesota Twins to win 4-3. The Cubs started off hot with leadoff hitter Ian Happ drawing a walk to set up Anthony Rizzo (back from injury) a 2 run shot. Wilson Contreras later in the game added a solo homer. Gave Jon Lester a 4-0 lead.

The Twins struck back after Dillon Maples replaces Lester in the top of the 5th inning. Maples inherited a runner in Max Kepler, who advanced to third on a passed ball on an Ehire Adrianza that resulted in a single. Kepler scored on another passed ball and Adrianza eventually scored on a wild pitch.
