Orioles' Wigginton has suspension reduced, drops appeal
Baseball Betting Lines
07/26/2010 - New York, NY (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Baltimore Orioles infielder Ty Wigginton had his three-game suspension reduced by one game, Major League Baseball announced on Monday.
Wigginton, who agreed to drop his appeal, was originally slapped with three games for his on-field argument and subsequent volatile reaction with an umpire in Thursday's game against Minnesota.
The nine-year veteran had initially appealed the ruling and was in Baltimore's starting lineup on Friday, going 1-for-4 with a triple in the club's 3-2 win over the Twins.
Wigginton's suspension began on Monday when the Orioles opened a three-game series at Toronto. He will be able to return for the finale on Wednesday.
Manager Juan Samuel and pitching Rick Kranitz were ejected, along with Wigginton, during the seventh inning of the game.
Umpire Gary Darling ruled that Wigginton missed a tag on Twins' shortstop J.J. Hardy, who was diving back to first base on an aborted stolen base attempt.
Wigginton argued briefly, but vociferously, and was thrown out of the game after it appeared he had bumped Darling chest to chest.
The veteran infielder then had to be restrained by Samuel before leaving the field.
Later in the frame, home plate umpire Bill Hohn threw Kranitz out for sarcastically clapping from the dugout after Drew Butera's single scored Hardy.
Samuel then came storming out of the dugout and was dismissed after taking his hat off, throwing it to the ground and stomping on it.
