Mariners' Winker Starts Brawl Sentence as Crawford Returns From Suspension For Same Incident

The aftermath continues following one of the wildest baseball brawls in recent memory. Jesse Winker, perhaps the most prominent participant and agitator in the dust-up, will begin serving his six-game suspension today.

The former Red was initially handed down a seven-game sentence from Major League Baseball, but it has been reduced after appeal.

Teammate JP Crawford started serving his four-game suspension late last week and missed Seattle’s four-game series win over the Oakland A’s this weekend. He will bat second and patrol short tonight.

The 27-year-old is hitting .261 with five homers and three steals in 306 plate appearances this season.
