NEW YORK, April 12 (UPI) -- Houston Astros Manager Brad Mills was suspended one game and fined Tuesday, two days after being ejected from game against Florida.
Mills was tossed from Sunday's contest after Astros pitcher Aneury Rodriguez threw at and hit Florida's Gaby Sanchez in the ninth inning. Umpires had issued a warning earlier.
