TORONTO -- Blue Jays slugger Edwin Encarnacion has been suspended one game for making contact with umpire Vic Carapazza during an argument Friday.
Encarnacion, who leads baseball with 73 RBIs, is eligible to play while he appeals the penalty.
Encarnacion was ejected for the first time this season for arguing with Carapazza after being called out on strikes to end the first inning of Friday's 19-inning, 2-1 loss to Cleveland. Encarnacion made contact with Carapazza's left shoulder after being ejected.
Manager John Gibbons came out to break up the argument and was also ejected.
