Cubs manager Lou Piniella's suspension was set at four games Monday by MLB for his weekend dirt-kicking tantrum against an umpire.

"I will serve it and I will learn from this experience," Piniella said before Monday night's game at Milwaukee. "These things won't happen again."

The commissioner's office originally planned to suspend Piniella for five games. The penalty was reduced by one game after Piniella spoke with John McHale Jr., MLB's executive vice president for administration.

Under the direction of bench coach Alan Trammell the Cubs won their second game in a row without Piniella, beating the Brewers 7-2 on Monday night. Piniella watched the game with Cubs GM Jim Hendry from a suite at Miller Park.
