At first glance, this development comes as a moderate surprise. Entering the season, Larnach wasn&#x2019;t expected to occu...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20620</guid><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2026 22:06:02 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>5 Truths About the 2026 Twins We Can't Ignore</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/5-truths-about-the-2026-twins-we-cant-ignore-r20605/</link><description>We're 86 games into the season, meaning the 2026 regular season is officially over halfway through. The Twins currently have a record of 41-45, in what has been a fairly eventful year. It hasn't necessarily all been good, but we've had a little bit of everything. There have been breakout perform...</description><guid isPermaLink="false">20605</guid><pubDate>Tue, 30 Jun 2026 18:02:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Can the Twins Get to a .500 Record?</title><link>https://twinsdaily.com/minnesota-twins-news/twins/can-the-twins-get-to-a-500-record-r20617/</link><description>For most teams, the trade deadline isn't decided by one game or even one series. It's determined by months of evidence. For the Twins, though, the next few weeks may come down to one simple question: can they finally get back to .500?

In the win, Prielipp went 6 innings, allowed 6 hits and 2 earned runs, but the real fun came in the lefty's 10 strikeouts and 0 walks.

Unexpectedly, he operated as the club&#x2019;s fifth starter in June.

Even after striking out 14 times on Wednesday night, Minnesota has become one of the best contact-hitting teams in baseball during June.

Meanwhile, Kody Clemens handled the starts at second base, as the two kind of flip-flopped.

	The last time the Twins had a .500 record was April 22nd.
