JOYCE SUSPENDED TWO GAMES » Oakland outfielder Matt Joyce has received a two-game suspension without pay for directing a gay slur toward a fan in Anaheim and that he will take part in a public outreach initiative with PFLAG, a family and ally organizati­on supporting LGBTQ community.

Major League Baseball said Joyce’s penalty was set to begin Aug. 5, when he also apologized through the team. He says he is “beyond sorry,” and the Athletics said his language was unacceptab­le and won’t be tolerated.

The A’s are donating more than $54,000 of Joyce’s lost salary to PFLAG.
