Milton Bradley could face his first suspension as a member of the Cubs after supposedly making contract with an umpire during Thursday's game at Wrigley Field.

Chicago lost the game 7-4 to St. Louis. If Bradley is suspended, the Cubs are already expected to fight the punishment.

Bradley fought with plate umpire Larry Vanover after taking a third strike with the bases loaded in the sixth inning.
