Major League Baseball suspended Abner Uribe one game for "inappropriate actions" and issued a fine after the Milwaukee Brewers reliever executed a "triple crotch chop" celebration following a tense inning against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Uribe has appealed the suspension, MLB announced Friday, May 29, and will be available for the Brewers game Friday at Houston.

Uribe's histrionics came after days of stewing beef between the Cardinals and Brewers, with Uribe claiming Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol threatened to intentionally hit Milwaukee batters after the club was allegedly too obvious in relaying stolen signs from the dugout.

Abner Uribe of the Milwaukee Brewers was suspended one game by Major League Baseball for "inappropriate actions."

The tensions crested when Uribe threw a pitch up and in on Cardinals catcher Ivan Herrera in the eighth inning of the Brewers' 6-0 victory on Tuesday, May 26. After Uribe got out of the inning, he turned toward the Cardinals dugout and celebrated, irritating his manager, Pat Murphy.

""It’s just unacceptable," Murphy told reporters following the victory. "I don’t know what got over him. I mean, he’s been an emotional guy. That’s just not how we do things. I was embarrassed by it. Why are we doing it in a 6-0 ballgame?"

Marmol acknowledged a day later that he'd chirped with Brewers players regarding the relayed signs Monday.

"We felt like they were being pretty demonstrative about relaying from the dugout," Marmol said. "I looked over [to the Brewers dugout] and said, 'Don't do it, be smart, you're going to get somebody hurt, what are we trying to do here?' And that was it."
