After losing their first post-All-Star game, the Cubs took the second in their series against the Twins. They won 6-2 at Wrigley Field, where they were favored at -155 in the pregame odds.
Matthew Boyd allowed a home run to Clemens in the second inning; it was the only blemish on a solid outing in which he earned his sixth win of the year, pitching six innings with four strikeouts. The offense respected him and kept him busy throughout. Busch hit a home run that comically landed in the stands near former Cubs legend Antony Rizzo. This time it wasn't the Cubs' stars, but Amaya and Ramírez, who delivered clutch hits with RBI doubles; meanwhile, Nico Hoerner tied his career high with a four-hit game.
The Twins had a chance to get back into the game, but with runners on base, Minnesota seemed to forget how to run them, and a play that killed a rally: the Cubs threw out Bell and Lee on base in the ninth inning.

Our Chicago Cubs vs Minnesota Twins Prediction
The Cubs showed no trouble in Game 2 of this series against a pitcher with big numbers in 2026, like the Twins' Taj Bradley. In the final game of the series, they will face Matthews, who has a 4.57 ERA this season.
The Cubs are hoping Shota Imanaga can step up as their ace. The Japanese pitcher has a high ERA of 4.17 this season. In his last outing, he effectively lowered his ERA against the Reds, despite allowing a baserunner in the first four innings he pitched.
Our prediction for Cubs vs Twins is: Cubs ML.
