Major League Baseball has suspended Philadelphia Phillies closer Héctor Neris for three games after "intentionally throwing a pitch in the area of the head of David Freese" during Tuesday's game against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Joe Torre, Chief Baseball Officer for Major League Baseball, made the announcement. Neris was also fined an undisclosed amount for the pitch, which struck Freese in the back just below the back of his head during the ninth inning of the Phillies' 9-8 victory.
