Royals' Garrett gets 3-game ban for throwing drink at fan

Kansas City Royals reliever Amir Garrett was suspended three games for throwing a drink at a fan during a contest against the Chicago White Sox on Aug. 2, Major League Baseball announced Monday.

Garrett will appeal the suspension, which means he's eligible to pitch for the Royals while the league makes a final decision on his punishment.

The left-hander apologized to the spectator following the incident.

The 30-year-old owns a 4.60 ERA with a 1.30 WHIP in his first season with Kansas City.
