Cabrera's suspension reduced to three games

Texas Rangers third baseman Asdrubal Cabrera's suspension for throwing his batting gloves at an umpire was reduced from four games to three on Monday.

Cabrera tossed his gloves after his ejection in the sixth inning of a 4-2 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Thursday. Cabrera was upset about a called third strike by home plate umpire Doug Eddings.

After striking out for the third time in the game, Cabrera stayed at home plate momentarily and calmly expressed his displeasure with the call.

Cabrera saw video of the pitch after going back to the dugout, started chirping and got ejected by Eddings.
