Thursday, June 18
Michael Bourn has been mired in a relative slump at the plate of late, and he let frustration get the best of him during his club's 6-0 win over the Chicago Cubs on Tuesday evening.
After Bourn made contact with home plate umpire Phil Cuzzi during an argument that appeared to revolve around a called strikeout, Major League Baseball has suspended him one game, according to the Indians' official Twitter account.
