Twins Snap Losing Streak with 11-4 Rout of Mariners
The Minnesota Twins ended their five-game losing streak in emphatic fashion on Monday night, cruising to an 11-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners at Target Field. Kody Clemens was the offensive star, going 2-for-5 with a home run and five RBIs, while Byron Buxton added a two-run homer to power the Twins’ attack. The win was a much-needed boost for Minnesota, which had been struggling to find consistency.
On the mound, Prielipp earned his first big-league victory in his second career start, delivering a solid performance that kept the Mariners’ offense in check. His seven-inning effort marked the longest outing of his major league career, showcasing his potential as a future rotation staple. The Twins’ bullpen also held firm, preserving the lead and securing the win.
For the Mariners, the loss was a setback as they look to stay competitive in the AL West. Taylor Ward, who was recently acquired in a trade, is expected to make an impact, but the team struggled to generate offense against Prielipp and the Twins’ pitching staff. The Mariners will look to bounce back in the next game, with a right-hander scheduled to start for Seattle in a matchup of right-handers.
The game, which lasted 3:46, featured several key moments, including a triple by Trevor Larnach and a walk-off win for the Twins in a previous matchup. With this victory, Minnesota hopes to build momentum and climb back into contention, while Seattle will aim to regroup and get back on track.
