Pirates' Chapman gets 2-game ban for tantrum
Written by I Dig SportsPittsburgh Pirates pitcher Aroldis Chapman has been suspended two games and fined for "inappropriate actions" during Monday's game against the New York Mets, MLB announced Thursday.
Unless he appeals, Chapman is scheduled to start the suspension Friday, when the Pirates host the Boston Red Sox.
Chapman was ejected by plate umpire Edwin Moscoso after giving up a two-run double in the eighth inning of Monday's loss to the Mets.
"He evidently said something that the umpire did not like," Pirates manager Derek Shelton said after Monday's game.
