MINNEAPOLIS -- Despite trading Eduardo Escobar, Ryan Pressly, Zach Duke, Lance Lynn and Brian Dozier before Tuesday's non-waiver Trade Deadline, the Twins held onto right-hander Kyle Gibson, who they believe can be part of their success in the near future, remaining under team control through next season.
Gibson was mostly solid against the Indians, allowing three runs over six innings, but it wasn't enough in a 6-2 loss on Tuesday at Target Field. Gibson, who fell to 5-8 with a 3.47 ERA, attracted interest on the trade market, but the Twins ultimately decided not to deal Gibson or closer Fernando Rodney before the Deadline.
