Chicago Upended by Minnesota, 10-4
Starting pitcher Griffin Canning pitched well enough to help the Minnesota Millers beat the Chicago Explorers, 10-4. With the victory, the Millers upped their record to 39-36.

Jorge Polanco had a big 3-run home run for the Millers in the bottom of the first inning. With Minnesota leading 1-0 and runners on 1st and 3rd, he sized up a fastball from 31-year old right-handed pitcher Aaron Civale and punished it. The result was his 9th home run of the season, which put the Millers on top, 4-0.

"Enjoyed this one," Polanco told the Minnesota Herald. "But it's back to work tomorrow."
