MLB suspends Astros P Bryan Abreau 2 games, plus fine, for plunking Adolis Garcia
Major League Baseball has suspended Houston Astros pitcher Bryan Abreu for two games and fined him an undisclosed fine for what it said was intentionally throwing at the Texas Rangers' Adolis Garcia during Game 5 of the American League Championship Series.
Unless appealed, Abreu's suspension takes effect Sunday for Game 6 of the ALCS, with the Astros ahead in the best-of-seven series 3-2 after winning 5-4 on Friday. An appeal would delay the penalty until the process is completed. Garcia -- who put the Rangers ahead 4-2 with a three-run homer in the sixth inning and admired the 396-foot blast before spiking his bat upon starting his trot -- was plunked when he batted in the eighth. With a runner on first and the Rangers still ahead by two, Abreu's 98-mph fastball got Garcia on the arm.
