UNDATED (AP) – Jake Marisnick’s home plate collision with Jonathan Lucroy (LOO’-kroy) last weekend has earned the Houston Astros outfielder a two-game suspension.  Lucroy was carted off the field last Sunday at the end of the eighth inning of the Astros’ 11-10, 10-inning win over the Los Angeles Angels. The Angels catcher sustained a concussion and broken nose. Marisnick was called out for colliding with Lucroy and the call was upheld after a crew chief review.  Marisnick said afterward that it was a “bad play” and that he hoped Lucroy was OK. Marisnick also appealed the suspension and can continue to play until a decision on his hearing his reached.
