St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Miles Mikolas received a five-game suspension Friday for intentionally throwing at Ian Happ of the Chicago Cubs Thursday night.
Contreras, who was bleeding from the head, left the game after being checked out. Happ and Contreras hugged it out, and it did not appear there were any hard feelings.
Miles Mikolas, #39 of the St. Louis Cardinals, reacts after being ejected from the game for hitting a batter in the first inning against the Chicago Cubs at Busch Stadium on July 27, 2023, in St Louis, Missouri.The umpires convened before throwing Mikolas out of the game. "I wish if they thought there was intent behind the first [pitch], then issue a warning after the first one," Marmol said, per MLB.com."Then, that [warning] kills everything that happened yesterday – rather than waiting around [for the second pitch that hit Happ] and then going straight to an ejection. Once they say it’s intentional, he gets suspended, and I get suspended."
St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol walks back to the dugout after the national anthem before a baseball game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Arizona Diamondbacks on July 25th, 2023, at Chase Field in Phoenix, AZ.
