MINNEAPOLIS — Twins manager Ron Gardenhire was suspended for one game Saturday for his outburst Thursday night that led fans to throw hats and baseballs on the field during a victory over the White Sox.
Gardenhire missed Saturday night’s home game against the Indians. Bob Watson, MLB’s vice president of on-field operations, said Gardenhire also was fined.
