Cardinals’ Willson Contreras Appeals 6-Game Suspension for Tirade

Contreras was suspended six games and fined after Monday’s ejection in St. Louis’ 7-6 win over Pittsburgh, when he threw a bat that struck hitting coach Brant Brown and tossed gum on the field. He’s appealing and played Tuesday’s 8-3 loss. Crew chief Jordan Baker said Contreras and manager Oliver Marmol were tossed for “vulgar stuff” toward umpire Derek Thomas.
