Angels, Mariners brawl results in some suspension­s

-

A trio of Seattle Mariners regulars were suspended Monday for their brawl with the Los Angeles Angels, and another went on the injured list after being hurt in the melee.

Outfielder Jesse Winker was banned seven games, shortstop J.P. Crawford received a fivegame suspension and outfielder Julio Rodríguez got a two-game punishment from Major League Baseball for their roles in Sunday's fight. Catcher Luis Torrens went on the 10-day injured list with a left shoulder injury suffered in the fracas.

Manager Scott Servais was sporting bruises on his arm after being caught at the bottom of a pile during the fracas. While Angels interim manager Phil Nevin was banned 10 games, Servais escaped punishment from MLB.

Winker, Crawford and Rodríguez are appealing their suspension­s, and they'll remain active until they've had hearings.
