The Minnesota Twins found themselves down 8-1 after two innings Sunday afternoon at Wrigley Field, but came storming back -- only to eventually lose 11-10 to the Cubs who swept the weekend series in Chicago.

After Minnesota took a brief 1-0 run in the top of second inning, Chicago erupted for 8 runs in the bottom of the inning taking an 8-1 lead into the third. The Cubs added a run in each of the 4th, 5th, and 6th innings.

Minnesota added runs of their own scoring two in the 5th and two in the sixth -- heading into the eighth inning trailing 11-5. The Twins rallied in the top of the eighth, scoring five and pulling within a run, but that's 11-10 is where things would end.
