Blue Jays hitting coach Jacoby suspended 14 games (The Associated Press)

TORONTO (AP) -- Blue Jays hitting coach Brook Jacoby has been suspended 14 games for his postgame conduct toward the umpires following an April 29 game at Boston.

Joe Torre, Chief Baseball Officer for Major League Baseball, announced the suspension Monday.

After Russell Martin was called out on strikes by Adrian Johnson for the final out of Toronto's 4-1 loss, members of the Blue Jays coaching staff traded words with the umpiring crew as they left the field.

At Fenway Park, the umpires exit through the visitor's dugout and share a tunnel with the players to their respective locker rooms.
