Pirates' Tommy Pham serves suspension for conduct toward Angels fans

NEW YORK -- Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Tommy Pham served a one-game suspension Monday night against the New York Mets for conduct directed at Los Angeles Angels fans last month.

Pham was disciplined by Major League Baseball and fined an undisclosed amount on April 25 for "inappropriate actions toward" Angels fans during a game two days earlier. The penalty was upheld after his appeal went to a hearing, a Pirates spokesman said Monday.

The 37-year-old Pham reportedly made an obscene gesture to a fan who touched him while he was tracking down a ball in the left-field corner during a 3-0 win over the Angels.
