Trevor Plouffe led the offense with five runs batted in, including a grand slam in a seven-run second inning. Brian Dozier had four hits, and four other Minnesota batters had a pair of hits apiece in the rout.

Mike Pelfrey was spotted a seven-run lead but only lasted 3.1 innings before yielding to the bullpen in the fourth with the bases loaded. Chicago scored a pair of runs and loaded the bases against Pelfrey on a a single, walk and three batters hit by pitches. Ryan Pressly shut down the rally and earned the win.
