DETROIT
Major League Baseball levied judgment on the events of Sunday’s game between the Royals and Toronto, handing down a three-game suspension for Blue Jays reliever Aaron Sanchez, who was ejected after hitting Alcides Escobar, and a one-game ban for Toronto manager John Gibbons, who returned to the field of play, after being ejected, during an on-field skirmish following Escobar getting hit.
No Royals received a suspensions, despite protests from Blue Jays fans that both Edinson Volquez and Ryan Madson targeted Toronto hitters. Volquez hit Josh Donaldson in the first inning. Madson hit Troy Tulowitzki in the seventh.
