Sano's suspension upheld, to be served tonight

CHICAGO -- Twins third baseman Miguel Sano's one-game suspension was upheld by Major League Baseball on Tuesday, and he'll serve it in the series opener against the White Sox.

Sano was suspended for shoving Tigers catcher James McCann on April 22 after left-hander Matthew Boyd threw behind Sano and McCann's glove hit Sano's face as he tried to get between Sano and Boyd.

Sano appealed the suspension, which was handed out on April 24. His hearing was on Friday and lasted 90 minutes via a video conference call, however, his appeal was denied on Tuesday.
