Astros pitcher's suspension appeal adds uncertainty to Game 7 showdown
Houston Astros pitcher Bryan Abreu entered Game 6 of the American League Championship Series while his appeal for a two-game suspension is being processed. Abreu struck out Adolis Garcia, whom he hit with a pitch in Game 5, during his appearance. The incident resulted in fines for several players and Astros manager Dusty Baker. Abreu's appeal hearing is scheduled for Monday, and his eligibility for Game 7, if necessary, could be affected.
