Minneapolis, Minnesota (AP) – Major League Baseball on Friday punished Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson an unknown sum and one game suspension for giving Cleveland fans the finger. The incident occurred on Wednesday.
Anderson, who is contesting the suspension, is still in the starting lineup for Friday night’s game against Minnesota.
In the first two innings of Chicago’s 11-1 loss in the first game of a doubleheader on Wednesday, Anderson committed three mistakes. While on the field, the irate 28-year-old gestured in the direction of a fan.
MLB has punished Anderson twice already this season. During the first weekend of play, he was suspended for two games for interacting with umpire Tim Timmons on September 27 during the ninth inning of a game. Anderson’s appeal of that suspension was successful.
Minnesota’s Minneapolis (AP) — Tim Anderson of the Chicago White Sox was fined an amount undisclosed by Major League Baseball on Friday in addition to missing one game for giving Cleveland fans the finger. Wednesday was the day of the incident.
Anderson, who is appealing the punishment, is still listed as the starting player for the game against Minnesota on Friday night.
Anderson made three errors in the first two innings of Chicago’s doubleheader opener, which ended in an 11-1 loss. The 28-year-old made an angry gesture toward a supporter while on the field.
MLB has already fined Anderson twice this year. He was given a two-game suspension during the opening weekend of play for his interactions with umpire Tim Timmons on September 27 during a game in the ninth inning. Anderson’s request of that suspension was successful.
Houston (AP) — The Chicago White Sox got on Justin Verlander early and easily defeated the Houston Astros 7-0 on Saturday. Johnny Cueto, Reynaldo López, and Luis Robert tied a career-high with four RBIs.
For his first victory since July 29 with San Francisco, Cueto (1-3) needed a season-high seven innings while giving up just two hits and striking out five.
Tony La Russa, the manager, stated that Johnny “set the tempo.” “He’s a true artist; that’s major league pitching at its finest.”
The White Sox secured their fourth victory in five games after taking a 7-0 lead after four innings thanks to two runs scored by José Abreu and three singles by Robert, tying a season high.
Jose Altuve was given a leadoff single by Cueto, and in the fourth and sixth innings, he walked a hitter.
But it wasn’t until Alex Bregman singled in the eighth inning with no outs that Houston managed another hit. Cueto ended his day by retiring Kyle Tucker after Yordan Alvarez grounded into a double play.
Dusty Baker, the manager of Houston who oversaw Cueto in Cincinnati, was gushing about the right-hander.
“He’s as tough as anybody when he’s on his stuff,” Baker remarked. “He’s got pitching skills.”
López finished the shutout with two spotless innings and one hit allowed.
Although Verlander (8-3) had eight victories going into the day and was tied for the MLB lead, he had a rare poor start to the season.
