CHICAGO โ Major League Baseball suspended Chicago White Sox reliever Jimmy Cordero for three games Saturday and fined him an undisclosed amount for hitting the Cubs' Willson Contreras with a pitch.
Manager Rick Renteria was suspended for one game, and he and pitching coach Don Cooper were also fined.
Contreras hit a three-run shot off Dylan Cease in the third, then exited the batterโs box with sky-high bat flip.
He also greeted White Sox utilityman Yolmer Sanchez, who pitched the ninth, with a solo shot for his eighth career multihomer game.
The playoff-bound White Sox had lost six straight and were tied with Cleveland for second place in the NL Central behind Minnesota entering Saturday's game.
