TORONTO -- Baltimore Orioles pitcher Alfredo Simon has been suspended three games and manager Buck Showalter banned one contest for throwing at Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista.
Blue Jays starter Shaun Marcum was also fined $750 for hitting Luke Scott earlier in Sunday's game.
Bautista was hit twice in the game, and the second time in the fifth inning led to the trouble.
Both teams had already been warned when Simon came in and threw at Bautista.
It was unclear why and Bautista said Monday he wasn't sure what the Orioles were trying to accomplish.
Marcum said he was surprised by the fine.
