Brewers' Abner Uribe's DX Chop Celebration in Video Ripped by Manager Pat Murphy, 'Unacceptable'
Key Points:
- Milwaukee Brewers pitcher Abner Uribe threw a scoreless inning in relief during a 6-0 win over the St. Louis Cardinals but drew criticism for his emotional DX chop celebration after striking out Alec Burleson.
- Brewers manager Pat Murphy called Uribe's celebration "unacceptable" and said it would not be tolerated, emphasizing the importance of team decorum despite Uribe's overall positive contributions.
- Uribe apologized to his team and management for his reaction but defended himself by citing provocative behavior from the Cardinals' manager and a prior incident during practice.
- The Brewers secured the win with strong pitching performances, including Kyle Harrison's six innings and a collective shutout effort, maintaining their lead in the National League Central.
- Despite Uribe's increased ERA in 2025 compared to last season, the Brewers aim to complete a three-game sweep of the Cardinals in their upcoming game.
