Nolan Arenado Suspended 2 Games for Role in Mets-Cardinals Brawl

The St. Louis Cardinals defeated the New York Mets 10-5 Wednesday, but the victory came at a cost.

ESPN's Jesse Rogers reported third baseman Nolan Arenado was suspended two games and relief pitcher Genesis Cabrera was suspended one game for their roles in a benches-clearing brawl that overshadowed the game.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post noted those weren't the only punishments:

MLB gave a 2-game suspension to Nolan Arenado and a 1-game suspension to Genesis Cabrera for their involvement in the Cardinals-Mets hostilities. Yoan Lopez and Taijuan Walker of the Mets received fines, as did Jack Flaherty of the Cardinals.
