The runs both scored in the fourth on a Shay Whitcomb popup down the right field line that no one could get to. Prielipp allowed four hits, walked two and struck out three before exiting a tie game. He ends his rookie season 6-7 with a 4.87 ERA and a fine 128/44 K/BB in 125 2/3 innings. He might have a little edge on Zebby Matthews and Mick Abel for a spot in the Twins rotation next spring, but that’s assuming that they leave an opening with Pablo López coming back.

It’s his first scoreless start as a major leaguer, though he did pitch five scoreless innings behind an opener on Sept. 1. Prielipp has allowed five runs in 21 1/3 innings this month, dropping his ERA from 5.55 to 4.94. That’s still not great, but his 125/42 K/BB in 120 1/3 innings is encouraging. He’ll likely face the Rangers next Friday.

Prielipp tossed a scoreless first inning, then gave up a run on three hits in the second. He recovered for two more scoreless innings before the Guardians brought two more runs home in the fifth on a hit batter, a base hit, and a double. Prielipp recorded the first out in the sixth and departed at 77 pitches with just one strikeout. The 25-year-old left-hander will take a 5.24 ERA, 1.34 WHIP, and a 117/40 K/BB ratio across 113 1/3 innings into a start against the Angels in Anaheim on Friday.

Prielipp essentially piggybacked with ace Joe Ryan during the latter’s return from the injured list, needing just 68 pitches (45 strikes) to navigate the final four frames. All of the damage against him came courtesy of a two-run blast from Tigers slugger Riley Greene in the fifth inning. He struck out five and didn’t hand out a free pass. He’s likely to take the ball again early next week when Minnesota kicks off a home series against the Yankees.

Prielipp gave up three hits, walked one and struck out five. He improved to 4-7 with the win. Prielipp followed Andrew Morris, who pitched an inning as the opener. He was excellent after having a month to forget in August, when his ERA was 7.76 in five starts. Prielipp has a 5.28 ERA. He’s lined up to face the Tigers on the road next week.

Prielipp came close against the depleted A’s, but he went without a quality start for a seventh straight outing. His ERA stands at 5.55 through 19 big-league starts, but his rotation spot is probably safe until Joe Ryan gets back. He’s due to face the Tigers next week.

Prielipp did strike out seven in the loss against two walks, and he held the San Diego lineup without runs between the first and fifth frames. That means less when you give up a two-run shot in the first to Ty France, and four more runs crossed the plate in that fifth inning. There was some good stuff from the 25-year-old, but not enough to make it a successful outing. He’ll get a chance to face the A’s next week, but keep in mind that start will take place in Sacramento.

Prielipp gave up eight hits, walked four and struck out six. He fell to 3-6 with the loss. While the Phillies hit Prielipp hard, he helped hold Kyle Schwarber to an 0-for-5 and allowed just a single and a walk to Bryce Harper. The only extra-base hits against Prielipp were two doubles by Alec Bohm and a three-run home run by Bryston Stott. Prielipp has a 5.34 ERA, but his 4.02 xFIP shows he’s been unlucky this year. He’s lined up to face the Padres on the road next weekend.

Prielipp fanned seven, but he gave up a pair of homers, bringing his season total to 11 allowed in 82 2/3 innings. He’s still won just three of his 16 starts while amassing a 4.75 ERA to date. He’ll face the Phillies next.

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.

Prielipp gave up two hits, walked one and struck out five. He improved to 3-5 with the win. Prielipp spent the last two weeks on the IL with a blister on his pitching hand, but returned with an excellent start against the A’s on Sunday. He has a 4.73 ERA. Prielipp is lined up to face the Mariners on the road next weekend.

Prielipp will return to start against the Athletics on Sunday afternoon. The 25-year-old southpaw had been sidelined since July 9 due to a blister on his pitching hand. Prielipp has struggled to a 5.00 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and a 71/25 K/BB ratio over 66 2/3 innings through his first 13 starts with the Twins this season.

Prielipp had a blister pop in his start on July 9 against the Guardians and wound up on the injured list. He looked good on Sunday, throwing 20 of his 32 pitches for strikes. Since he hasn’t been out long, there’s a chance the Twins could simply bring him back this week, but he has also thrown 85 innings already this season, topping his career high, so the Twins may be comfortable slowing his return. Whenever he is back, he’s worth an add in all 15-team formats and would be back on the streamer radar in 12-team leagues.

Apparently, Prielipp had the blister in his previous start, but it ripped and began to bleed in the fourth inning on Thursday. That would explain why Prielipp, who had gotten nine of the first ten batters out, ran into big-time trouble in the fourth inning and allowed two home runs, which accounted for all of the runs he allowed. With the All-Star break coming, he may only miss one start, but the Twins could also be cautious with his innings totals and slow play his return a bit.

Prielipp retired nine of the first 10 batters he faced before back-to-back home runs in the fourth accounted for all three runs on his ledger. Both pitches that left the yard were poorly executed as well. First, a belt high changeup that Brayan Rocchio sent into the upper deck and then a hanging slider that Rhys Hoskins tattooed. Nevertheless, he did well to limit the damage otherwise and will head into the All-Star break with a 5.00 ERA, 71 strikeouts, and 25 walks across 66 2/3 innings.

A sensational outing for Prielipp; one that saw him generate a whopping 20 swings-and-misses over 93 pitches. The two runs came on an infield single in the first, and an RBI knock in his sixth and final frame. Prielipp has been more down than up in his first taste of MLB action, but Sunday was a proof-of-concept for one of the better pitching prospects in the Minnesota system. He’ll try and match — or come close to it — those results Saturday against the Yankees.

Prielipp falls to 2-5 on the season with the loss. The 25-year-old allowed nine hits and three walks, and the four strikeouts obviously didn’t make up for all of that traffic. Prielipp was certainly hurt by his defense as well — in this case an error by Brooks Lee — but the overwhelming majority of the blame goes to the former University of Alabama ace. Prielipp shouldn’t be near fantasy lineups next week in a scheduled start versus the Dodgers.

Prielipp didn’t seem long for this one after giving up a two-run homer to the second batter he faced in the first and two more runs in the second, but he hung around and kept the Twins in the game despite managing just two strikeouts and giving up 12 hard-hit balls. He wound up leaving with the score tied after six, only to immediately watch the Cardinals hit three homers in a five-run seventh. Prielipp remains 2-4 with a 5.26 ERA. He should stay in the rotation for now and face the D-backs next week, but a move to the pen could be a possibility at some point if the Twins get some injured starters back.

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.

Prielipp gave up six hits, walked two and struck out seven. He improved to 2-3 on the season. Prielipp and the Twins fell behind early in the game as a throwing error by Minnesota and a two-run single by Miguel Vargas gave the White Sox the first three runs of the game. The Twins would come back to win 6-4 with Prielipp striking out seven in six innings. He’s lined up to face the Royals at home on Sunday.
