Kansas City Royals pitcher Brad Keller has been suspended five games and Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson one game following Wednesday's brawl between the teams MLB announced.
Anderson, whose exuberant bat flip after his fourth-inning home run was a catalyst for the brawl, was suspended for "his conduct after the benches cleared", the league said in a statement..
Both players received an undisclosed fine and it is unknown whether either will appeal.
Keller plunked Anderson with the first pitch of the sixth inning. Anderson, whose .422 batting average leads the American League, was restrained by Royals catcher Martin Maldonado but kept jawing with Keller on the way to first base.
