Connor Prielipp allowed two runs in 4 1/3 innings and took the loss against the Royals on Sunday.

Prielipp gave up four hits, walked one and struck out seven. He fell to 2-4 with the loss. Prielipp had a quick hook after only 77 pitches as he was pulled with one out in the fifth inning. The move backfired on Twins manager Derek Shelton as his chosen reliever Andrew Morris allowed three runs. Prielipp has a 5.15 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Cardinals at home next weekend.
