MLB suspends Red Sox manager John Farrell one game over umpire dispute

Boston Red Sox manager John Farrell was suspended one game by Major League Baseball for his actions during an argument with an umpire over a balk call, chief baseball officer Joe Torre announced Tuesday. 

Farrell, who was also fined an undisclosed amount, got into a heated argument with third base umpire Bill Miller and poked him in the chest after he called a balk on Red Sox pitcher Fernando Abad as Los Angeles Angels batter Kole Calhoun requested "Time" from home plate umpire Ryan Blakney. 

Ferrell was ejected -- his first of the season -- by Miller. He is serving his suspension Tuesday as the Red Sox host the Minnesota Twins.
