Cubs pull Edwin Jackson after four innings
Chicago Cubs starter Edwin Jackson was pulled from Monday's game after throwing 76 pitches over four innings.
Jackson gave up two runs on two hits and issued three walks.
The broadcast showed a visibly upset Jackson exchanging words with manager Dale Sveum, but the confrontation allegedly escalated as the group went down the tunnel out of the dugout.
Sveum had a few words for Jackson with Quirk present, other coaches came over.

Looks like @EJ36 and Sveum didn't agree on the pitcher being pulled after 4 IP. We'll find out more post game. #Cubs
