Paddack (3-6) picked up the win Thursday against the Reds, allowing four runs on six hits and no walks with three strikeouts over five innings.
Fresh off a nine-run, 12-hit start last week, Paddack failed to bounce back Thursday, yielding a trio of extra-base hits, including a two-run home run by Gavin Lux. It's been an uncharacteristic stretch of play for Paddack, who had allowed two or fewer runs in six consecutive starts before his past two outings. On the year, Paddack owns a 4.48 ERA and a 56:23 K:BB across 80.1 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Mariners in his next start.

Twins' Chris Paddack: Ambushed by Astros
Rotowire
Paddack (2-6) took the loss Friday, surrendering nine runs (eight earned) on 12 hits and a walk over four innings as Minnesota was dropped 10-3 by Houston. He struck out only one.
The nine runs and dozen hits were both career worsts for Paddack, who coughed up at least one run in every frame until he got lifted after 85 pitches (56 strikes). Some regression was probably overdue -- the rough outing ended a stretch of 11 straight starts allowing three runs or fewer. He posted a 2.25 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 48:16 K:BB in 64 innings during that span. Paddack will look to rebound in his next trip to the mound, which lines up to come on the road next week in Cincinnati.

Twins' Chris Paddack: Turns in quality start Saturday
Rotowire
Paddack came away with a no-decision in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Blue Jays, allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over six innings. He struck out two.
The right-hander needed 86 pitches (55 strikes) to deliver his fourth quality start in his last six trips to the mound, a stretch in which he's posted a 1.85 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 28:6 K:BB over 39 innings. Paddack has stayed healthy in 2025, and the 29-year-old has emerged as an incredibly consistent option for Minnesota, pitching five innings or more and giving up three earned runs or fewer in 12 straight trips to the mound. Paddack will look to keep rolling in his next start, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Houston.

Rotowire
Paddack didn't factor into the decision Sunday against Seattle, allowing one run on four hits and one walk over eight innings. He struck out 10.
Paddack threw 110 pitches Sunday, and despite notching his fifth career start with double-digit strikeouts and allowing merely one run, he didn't receive enough run support to land the win. Paddack blanked the Mariners until the seventh inning when Cal Raleigh clubbed a solo home run. In his last five starts, Paddack has a 1.64 ERA and a 26:4 K:BB over 33 innings. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Blue Jays his next time out.

Twins' Chris Paddack: Pitches well again despite loss
Rotowire
Paddack (2-5) took the loss against Tampa Bay on Monday, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks while striking out five batters over 5.1 innings
Paddack allowed just three hits through five scoreless frames but ran into trouble in the sixth, surrendering a single and a double while retiring only one batter. That resulted in the right-hander getting the hook, and he was charged with two runs when both of the runners he left behind scored on a Jonathan Aranda homer off reliever Brock Stewart. Minnesota was unable to come back, resulting in Paddack's fifth loss of the campaign, but this was nonetheless another promising outing by the veteran hurler. After giving up 12 earned runs over his first two starts of the season, Paddack hasn't yielded more than three earned runs in any of his subsequent nine outings. He's posted a 2.34 ERA during that span, bringing his mark down to a respectable 3.92 overall.

Twins' Chris Paddack: Tuesday's game postponed
Rotowire
Paddack won't start as scheduled Tuesday against the Guardians since the game was postponed due to inclement weather, Dan Hayes of The Athletic reports.
Mother Nature has wreaked havoc on this series, as Monday's contest was suspended after three innings and was set to resume prior to Tuesday's regularly scheduled game. The suspended contest is now set to resume Wednesday ahead of the second game of the series, and the other game is scheduled to be made up as part of a doubleheader Sept. 20. Paddack is likely to pitch in one of Wednesday's contests, with the suspended game being advantageous since the Twins hold a 2-1 lead.

Twins' Chris Paddack: Flirts with perfection in first win
Rotowire
Paddack (1-3) earned the win Friday against the Giants after allowing one run on three hits and no walks in 7.1 innings. He struck out six.
Paddack had a perfect game going through 5.2 innings, but Christian Koss's sixth-inning single spoiled that bid. Even so, it was the longest outing of the year for the veteran right-hander, who also tied his season high with six punchouts. After giving up 12 runs over his first 7.1 innings in 2025, Paddack has tossed at least five innings and yielded two runs or fewer in five of his last six starts. He sports a 2.51 ERA and 26:10 K:BB across his last 32.1 innings, gaining plenty of momentum ahead of his next scheduled outing against the struggling Orioles.

Twins' Chris Paddack: Allows three runs in no-decision
Rotowire
Paddack did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 5-4 win against the Red Sox, allowing three runs on five hits and two walks with two strikeouts over five innings.
Paddack was given an early 1-0 lead but allowed three runs across the second and third innings. The 29-year-old has now completed exactly five frames in five straight starts, yielding a combined eight earned runs during that stretch. He'll bring a 5.57 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 24:16 K:BB across 32.1 innings into a scheduled home matchup with the Giants next weekend, though his overall line remains inflated by a nine-run blowup in his season debut.

Twins' Chris Paddack: Quality showing in no-decision
Rotowire
Paddack didn't factor in the decision Tuesday at Cleveland after allowing one run on four hits and a walk over five innings. He struck out two.
Paddack generated just four swinging strikes on 76 pitches, but the only real damage against him came on a solo homer by Bo Naylor during the third inning. The right-hander has given up just five earned runs across his past five four starts and has gone exactly five frames in each of those outings, but he's marred by an 0-3 record. He's pitching better of late, but Paddack still has an inflated 5.60 ERA for the season since he surrendered nine runs in his season debut.
Paddack (0-3) took the loss against the White Sox in Thursday's rain-shortened game. He allowed two runs on five hits and four walks while striking out five across five innings.
Paddack put the Twins behind in the second inning after giving up a solo homer to Lenyn Sosa, and the former gave up an additional run in the fourth frame on a bases-loaded walk. Paddack tossed 99 pitches (57 strikes) and generated 12 whiffs, but he couldn't avoid the loss, as the Twins' offense failed to accumulate any runs. Still, Paddack has rebounded nicely since giving up nine runs in his season debut March 31, logging a 3.32 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 18:9 in 19 innings over his last four starts. He's slated to take on the Guardians on the road next week, when he'll look to earn his first win of 2025.
Paddack allowed a run on three hits and a walk while striking out six over five innings in a no-decision versus Atlanta on Friday.
Paddack gave up just a solo home run to Jarred Kelenic in the fifth inning and left the game with Minnesota ahead 4-1. The bullpen couldn't keep the lead, as Griffin Jax and Cole Sands combined for an eighth-inning meltdown that cost Paddack what would have been his first win this season. He remains at 0-2 with a 7.27 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 15:9 K:BB over 17.1 innings. His last two starts have at least been serviceable, with a total of three runs allowed (two earned) over 10 innings. The right-hander's next start will be at home, either versus the White Sox or the Angels, depending on when Pablo Lopez (hamstring) is activated from the injured list.
Paddack (0-2) took the loss Saturday as the Twins were blanked 4-0 by the Tigers, allowing two runs (one earned) on two hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out five.
The right-hander put together his best outing of the season so far, but Minnesota's batters only managed four hits, and errors in the field and on the basepaths didn't help either. Paddack tossed 56 of 93 pitches for strikes before exiting, and he'll look for his first win of 2025 in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Atlanta.
