Cubs' Willson Contreras Has Suspension Reduced To 1 Game

(CBS) Cubs catcher Willson Contreras has had his two-game suspension reduced to one game upon appeal following his outburst in a win against the Cardinals on Friday at Wrigley Field.

Contreras will serve his suspension Sunday as the Cubs host the Cardinals in the series finale.
