White Sox closer Jenks fined for purpose pitch
Associated Press
CLEVELAND -- Chicago White Sox closer Bobby Jenks has been fined for throwing a pitch behind a batter.
Major League Baseball imposed the penalty Tuesday. It did not disclose the amount.
Jenks sailed a fastball in back of Ian Kinsler of the Texas Rangers on Saturday. Jenks later said the pitch was intentional because he was tired of watching White Sox batters getting hit with no retaliation.
