Washington Nationals manager Davey Martinez and pitcher Jorge López were suspended by MLB after the team intentionally threw at Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen, the league announced Thursday.
Martinez received a one-game suspension from the league. López was suspended for three games after the incident, which occurred in the seventh inning of Wednesday's contest. With two outs and a man already on base, Lopez hit Pirates outfielder Bryan Reynolds with a pitch. McCutchen came to the plate next, and had to duck out of the way of a 92 mph fastball that nearly hit him in the head.
