Torii Hunter and Luis Rodriguez hit solo homers and Ruben Sierra hit a two-run single to back Brad Radke and lift the Minnesota Twins to an 8-1 victory Sunday over the mistake-prone Cubs, completing a sweep of the Interleague series.

Lee tried. He made the five-hour drive from Des Moines, Iowa, to the Twin Cities on Saturday night after playing one game for the Triple-A Iowa Cubs. Lee was activated from the disabled list and started as the designated hitter, his first game with the team since he fractured his right wrist April 19.

He could've been a hero in the first inning when the Cubs had two on and nobody out, but Radke (6-7) struck him out. Lee singled in the third, grounded out in the fifth, and struck out again in the eighth.

Radke stifled the Cubs, giving up seven hits and one walk over seven innings while striking out six. Radke retired 12 of the last 13 batters he faced.

Rookie Sean Marshall (4-6) gave up five runs on six hits and three walks over 4 2/3 innings, while striking out three. The left-hander dropped to 1-5 in his last seven starts.

With one out in the Twins' second, Justin Morneau walked and reached third on a single by Hunter and fielding error by left fielder Matt Murton. Both scored on Sierra's single.

It got ugly in the Twins' third. Nick Punto and Mike Redmond both singled, and Michael Cuddyer then singled to right to drive in a run. Redmond and Cuddyer both advanced on the play on an errant throw by right fielder Jacque Jones.

Justin Morneau then bounced a single to right between second baseman Todd Walker and first baseman Phil Nevin. The two apparently got their signals crossed because they glanced at each other, then both backed away from the ball. Redmond tallied on the mental error. Hunter hit into a fielder's choice, allowing Cuddyer to score and take a 5-0 lead.

Sierra dropped a single between three Cubs in shallow left to open the sixth, Lew Ford walked, and one batter later, Luis Castillo slapped a single to shortstop Neifi Perez. He made a great stop but then bounced a throw to Aramis Ramirez at third, and the ball skipped past for an error, allowing another run to score.
