WATCH HERE"Jack Little was making his MLB debut. We were trying to get him to finish the game...he hits Tatis with a fastball and everyone knows there was no intent," said Roberts on the situation. "I didn't feel good about Tatis getting hit. He [Shildt] was yelling at me and staring me down. That bothered me...I took that personal."
Suarez appealed the suspension that was scheduled to begin Friday night when the Padres faced Kansas City at home.
