Milwaukee Brewers manager Pat Murphy wasn't happy with Abner Uribe after the reliever's lewd celebration during Tuesday's 6-0 win against the St. Louis Cardinals.
Uribe made a crotch-chop gesture toward the Cardinals' dugout following a strikeout to end the eighth inning.

"It's just unacceptable," Murphy said postgame, admitting that he was "embarrassed" by Uribe's actions, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com. "I don't know what got over him."
The skipper added: "I wouldn't be surprised if MLB did something, you know what I mean? You just don't do that."
Uribe said he apologized to his teammates, coaches, executives, and fans. However, the 25-year-old right-hander didn't extend the olive branch to the Cardinals because of incidents that occurred during Monday's contest and Tuesday's pregame practice.
"I don't think it's professional for their manager to be making signs toward our dugout saying that he's going to be hitting guys," Uribe said through a translator.
He added that Cardinals skipper Oliver Marmol made a sign that suggested William Contreras and Christian Yelich would be hit during their at-bats. Neither player was stuck by a ball during the first two games of the series between the NL Central rivals.
The Brewers and Cardinals will wrap up the three-game series Wednesday.
