MLB suspended Washington Nationals manager Davey Martinez and pitcher Jorge López after intentionally throwing at Pittsburgh Pirates' Andrew McCutchen. Martinez received a one-game suspension, while López was suspended for three games following the incident in the seventh inning of Wednesday's game, where López hit Pirates' Bryan Reynolds and almost hit McCutchen with a fastball.

The league's review concluded that López and Martinez intentionally threw at McCutchen, resulting in the suspensions and fines. The game ended with the Pirates winning 6-1, with Oneil Cruz hitting a grand slam after the incident. No punches were thrown during the altercation, but López was ejected from the game.
