Cincinnati Reds' Ross Ohlendorf, Bryan Price suspended

Major League Baseball announced Friday that Cincinnati Reds relief pitcher Ross Ohlendorf has been suspended three games and Reds manager Bryan Price has been suspended for one game after both were ejected during Wednesday's game against Pittsburgh.

Price will serve his suspension during Friday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies. Ohlendorf will appeal his suspension and will be available to pitch until his appeal is heard. Ohlendorf is 4-1 with a 3.28 earned-run average this season.

Ohlendorf and Price were ejected Wednesday when Ohlendorf hit Pittburgh's David Freese with a pitch in the top of the ninth after both teams had been given warnings.

The Pirates were 5-4 winners in Wednesday's game in which four Pirates batters were hit and two Reds batters were hit. This continues a history of ill feelings between the two teams.
