MLB

The Twins go for a series win at Wrigley Field Sunday against the Cubs. Minnesota took the opener, 5-2, but lost on Saturday. Starter Taj Bradley got the decision, dropping to 9-4 on the season. He allowed five earned in five innings of work. The Twins looked like they might have something brewing in the top of the 9th, but baserunning blunders saw guys thrown out at third and at 1st on the same play, dashing the hopes of a comeback. Sunday’s pitching matchup is Zebby Matthews versus Shota Imanaga.

WNBA

The Minnesota Lynx hit the 20-win mark for the season Saturday, extinguishing the Portland Fire 101-93 at Target Center. Kayla McBride led the team with 24 points, going a scintillating 4-8 from beyond the arc. She is now in the Top 20 for WNBA scoring leaders all time. Portland had three players eclipse the 20-point mark in the loss. They drop to 11-15 in their inaugural season.
