Mets manager Luis Rojas on Monday was suspended two games and fined an undisclosed amount for his outburst during Sunday’s 7-6 comeback win over the Pirates, the league announced.
Rojas was ejected in the first inning after arguing with home plate umpire Jeremy Riggs, who ruled a Kevin Newman dribbler fair despite Rojas and Mets pitcher Taijuan Walker believing it was foul.
The play led to mass confusion and the Pirates scoring three runs to take a 6-0 lead.
MLB in a statement described Rojas’ blowup as “excessive arguing.”
Rojas will miss Monday and Tuesday’s game against the Reds in Cincinnati, with bench coach Dave Jauss taking over managerial duties.
