SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Nick Gordon lost his arbitration case against the Minnesota Twins on Saturday and will receive a raise from $735,400 to $900,000, rather than the $1.25 million he was asking for.

Jasbir Parmer, Scott Buchheit and Keith Greenberg made the decision a day after hearing arguments.

The teams ended the Players' seven-decision winning streak. The players are 7-3 in the decision with the final six cases scheduled for hearing next week.
