San Francisco pitcher George Kontos has been suspended for three games by Major League Baseball, which said he intentionally threw a pitch at Pittsburgh's Andrew McCutchen, and Giants manager Bruce Bochy has been banned for one. MLB senior vice president Joe Garagiola made the decision Wednesday, a day after Kontos was ejected from the Pirates' 8-2 win for hitting McCutchen with a pitch in the eighth inning. A warning had been issued earlier in the game. Four batters were hit, including Pittsburgh's Pedro Alvarez by Tim Lincecum, and San Francisco's Gregor Blanco by Gerrit Cole and Marco Scutaro by Tony Watson.
