Pittsburgh Pirates relief pitcher Aroldis Chapman was initially suspended for two games following his ejection from a game against the New York Mets at Citi Field. Chapman was ejected after confronting the home plate umpire, having given up two go-ahead runs in the eighth inning. He was reportedly unhappy with some of the umpire's calls prior to the ejection. However, following an appeal, Major League Baseball agreed to reduce his suspension to one game, which he served immediately.
