CHICAGO (AP) -- Atlanta Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez was ejected in the seventh inning of Monday night's game against the Chicago Cubs by home plate umpire Chris Conroy.
After Chicago's David DeJesus was hit by a pitch from reliever Eric O'Flaherty, Conroy warned both benches, prompting Gonzalez to come out of the dugout and seconds later he was ejected. Atlanta's Jason Heyward had been hit by a pitch in the top of the inning.

manager Dale Sveum short in several areas. Over the weekend, the Cubs were forced to scratch right-hander Matt Garza from starts
on Saturday and Sunday, pushing him back to the end of the week. ...
