MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA - APRIL 27: Connor Prielipp #61 of the Minnesota Twins pitches against the Seattle Mariners during the first inning of the game at Target Field on April 27, 2026 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

I wish I could say that the in-person experience revitalized my faith in the team, but after enduring the loss in less-than-ideal weather conditions on Tuesday night, I opted to skip an even colder Thursday game. They wound up winning without me, which makes it feel like I went 0-for-2 anyway. This series is split at a game apiece, with the Blue Jays earning a convincing win on Friday night, in a game that wanted for some cleaner defense by Minnesota. To tip the scales, the Jays are sending out Known Good Pitcher Dylan Cease; the Twins are sending Supposed Good Pitcher Connor Prielipp. It’s the third big-league start for Prielipp, who’s been impressive so far against the Met and Mariner lineups. The Jays are yet another challenge; Prielipp has to be hoping for an Angels outing or something in the near future. Last time out, Prielipp threw five one-hit frames and walked three while en route to his first big-league win. Cease is well-known to the Twins, although this will be their first matchup with the mustachioed right-hander donning a Toronto uniform. After two trips around the baseball calendar with the , the former ace is in the first of seven seasons north of the border. GO TWINS GO!
