After the teams had been warned about hitting batters during
Sunday's game, Sanchez beaned Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar.
Sanchez was ejected as both sides poured onto the field.
MLB determined Sanchez’s pitch was intentional, drawing the
penalty. The pitcher has appealed the decision.
Jays manager Gibbons had been ejected earlier in the game but
returned to the field following the incident, drawing his own
suspension.
He served his penalty on Tuesday as the Blue Jays defeated
Minnesota 3-1.
