(AP) -- Cincinnati Reds pitcher Johnny Cueto has been
suspended for seven games for his actions during a brawl with the
St. Louis Cardinals, and both managers were suspended for two
games.
Major League Baseball said Thursday that Cueto, Cardinals
manager Tony La Russa and Reds manager Dusty Baker also were fined
undisclosed amounts.
Four other players were fined but not suspended - Cardinals
pitcher Chris Carpenter and catcher Yadier Molina, and Reds second
baseman Brandon Phillips and relief pitcher Russ Springer.
A fight broke out in the first inning of Tuesday's game in
Cincinnati. The Cardinals won the game and swept a three-game
series to move into first place in the NL Central.
It wasn't immediately clear if appeals were planned
