Major League Baseball suspended New York Mets pitcher Jacob Rhame two games for intentionally throwing near the head of Philadelphia Phillies first baseman Rhys Hoskins on Tuesday, perAnthony DiComoof MLB.com.
Rhame will have a chance to appeal if he chooses. If he agrees to the suspension, Rhame's ban will begin Friday, per DiComo.
The righty went high and tight on Hoskins with two outs in the top of the ninth inning of a 9-0 Mets victory. Hoskins took exception and began walking toward the mound before umpires issued a warning to both teams.
