ST. LOUIS (AP) — Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras threw a bat that mistakenly hit his own coach and tossed bubble gum on the field after he was ejected in St. Louis' 7-6 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night.

Manager Oliver Marmol also was tossed during an animated argument with the umpires after a called third strike in the seventh inning.
