Detroit Lakes, MN (KDLM) – The Minnesota Twins closed out a three-game home set against the Colorado Rockies with a 3-2 win on Sunday, taking the series two games to one at Target Field.

Connor Prielipp set the tone on the mound for Minnesota, striking out a career-high 10 batters while allowing two runs on six hits over six innings.
