NEW YORK (AP) -- San Francisco Giants pitcher Dustin Hermanson was suspended for three games for intentionally hitting Jeff Kent of the Houston Astros with a pitch in a game last week.
Hermanson also was fined an undisclosed amount, baseball's vice president, Bob Watson, announced Tuesday. Hermanson, the Giants' closer, is appealing, and the suspension will remain on hold until the process is completed.
Hermanson hit former Giants second baseman Kent with a pitch after warnings were issued during the game in San Francisco on Sept. 23. The Giants and the Astros are in a tight race for the playoffs in the last week of the season.
