Hopper Helps Cubs Defeat Twins, 8-2
The Chicago Cubs beat the Minnesota Twins, 8-2, at Target Field. The win was due in part to center fielder Dave Hopper, who was 3-5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 3 and driving in 3. At 45-48, the Cubs find themselves in second place in the National League Central Division.

Early in the game, Hopper had a 2-run home run for Chicago. It was his 8th home run of the season and put the Cubs on top, 2-0.

"Anytime you're seeing it well, it's a good feeling," Hopper told the Chicago Gazette.
