MILWAUKEE (AP) -Chicago Cubs first base coach Matt Sinatro was suspended for two games Monday after making contact with an umpire during a weekend dispute.
The suspension took effect Monday night when the Cubs started a series at Milwaukee for the NL Central lead.
Sinatro and Cubs manager Lou Piniella were fined undisclosed amounts by Major League Baseball vice president Bob Watson.
After the Cubs’ Mark DeRosa was called out at first base in the ninth inning Saturday at Wrigley Field, Sinatro argued and made contact with umpire Rob Drake. Sinatro was ejected, as was Piniella. The Cubs lost to Florida 3-2 in 12 innings.
