Connor Prielipp yielded three runs in 5 1/3 innings Saturday in a no-decision against the Mariners.

It seemed worth debating Prielipp versus Zebby Matthews in the Twins rotation following the Dean Kremer acquisition, but that Matthews pitched last night made it easy call to send him down initially. Plus, Prielipp did pitch well in his return from the IL against the A’s on Sunday. He was mediocre in walking four and giving up a Randy Arozarena homer today, but he did give the Twins a chance to win. The no-decision keeps him 3-5 with a 4.75 ERA through 15 starts. He’ll likely face the Brewers on Friday.
