Twins’ Rookie Pitcher Shines in Tight Spot

The Twins are leaning hard on rookie pitcher Connor Prielipp, who’s barely cracked 200 innings since high school but just delivered his longest outing yet—six strong innings, seven strikeouts, zero homers allowed, and his first win since April. Though his stat line shows four earned runs, the game was far from his fault: runs came from errors, stolen bases, and bad luck. His stuff? Fire. Fastball averaging over 95 mph, slider getting swings and misses. For a rookie in just his eighth start, this was a breakout performance that could be the key to a struggling rotation.
