Twins Fall to Padres in Overtime | Minnesota Twins News

The Twins drop Game 1 to the Padres 6-2, falling to 63-66 as Prielipp’s shaky fifth inning—highlighted by a key four-pitch walk—becomes the turning point. Despite pitching six innings and helping conserve bullpen depth, his ERA climbs to 5.57. Randy Vásquez stifled Minnesota’s offense until Kody Clemens’ late fourth-inning RBI triple, after which the Twins couldn’t mount any real pressure. Manager Shelton’s decision to let Prielipp stay in the game sparks debate, especially with postseason ambitions and innings management looming. The Twins look to bounce back today against Casey Mize, with Dean Kremer on the mound and first pitch at 8:40 PM CT.
