The man charged with throwing a beer at Orioles outfielder Hyun Soo Kim during the American League Wild Card Game in Toronto has left his employer.

Multiple outlets, including The Globe and Mail, report Ken Pagan no longer works at Postmedia, where he was a sports copy editor. A spokesman only confirmed his exit and didn't answer questions about the circumstances of his departure, including if he was fired.

Postmedia earlier said they would conduct an internal investigation.

Pagan was charged with mischief for allegedly throwing the beer can on the field during the Oct. 4 game. He's set to appear in court on Nov. 24. The incident generated almost as much discussion in Toronto and Baltimore as the game's outcome.

For their part, the Jays tightened alcohol rules for the rest of their postseason run. Beer is only being served in plastic cups.
