Baseball: Seattle reliever, manager suspended
Associated Press
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Seattle reliever Jorge Campillo was suspended for four games by Major League Baseball today, a day after he threw at Vladimir Guerrero twice and was ejected.Seattle manager John McLaren also was ejected and received a one-game suspension because both benches had been previously warned after Los Angeles Angels pitcher Jered Weaver plunked Kenji Johjima in the fourth inning.
Campillo relieved in the bottom of the inning and threw his first pitch high and tight to Jeff Mathis.
McLaren sat out tonight's game against Los Angeles. Campillo was not expected to appeal, in which case he also would begin his suspension immediately.
The ruling was made by Bob Watson, baseball's vice president for discipline.
