NEW YORK (AP) --- Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Chris Devenski was suspended for
two games and fined for intentionally throwing at Cincinnati Reds rookie Sal
Stewart, Major League Baseball said Tuesday.
MLB announced a three-game ban for Devenski early Tuesday, then said the
suspension was reduced to two games later in the day after negotiations with
the players' association. Devenski will begin serving the suspension Tuesday
night when the Pirates open a road series against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Devenski's fine was not disclosed.
Devenski intentionally threw at Stewart in the top of the seventh inning of
Pittsburgh's 17-7 win at PNC Park on Saturday. He was ejected following the
incident.
Pirates manager Don Kelly was also suspended for one game and received an
undisclosed fine, MLB senior vice president for on-field operations Michael
Hill announced. Kelly was also set to serve his suspension on Tuesday night.
