SAN DIEGO (AP) — San Diego Padres infielder Jose Iglesias was suspended Friday for one game and fined for unprofessional conduct toward the umpires during the final game of the club’s wild-card playoff series against the Chicago Cubs, MLB announced. Infielder Xander Bogaerts was also fined an undisclosed amount for his conduct during the interaction that followed the final out at Wrigley Field on Oct. 2 when the Padres were eliminated from the postseason by Chicago.

The Padres had a pointed shouting match with the umpiring crew as it left the field following the Cubs' 3-1 victory. Video of the confrontation was widely viewed on social media. Home plate umpire D.J. Reyburn called a third strike on Bogaerts for the first out in the ninth inning on a pitch that appeared to be below the zone.
