Cardinals' Contreras gets 6-game suspension, fine for tirade

ST. LOUIS -- First baseman Willson Contreras was suspended for six games and fined an undisclosed amount for his tirade in the St. Louis Cardinals' 7-6 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night.

Contreras informed Major League Baseball he is appealing the suspension, which means it did not take effect immediately. As such, he was in the lineup for Tuesday night's 8-3 loss to the Pirates and went 0 for 3, driving in a run with a groundout in the sixth inning.

After the game, Contreras declined to comment about the suspension with his hearing pending.
