Major League Baseball has suspended Detroit Tigers pitcher Rick Porcello and Boston Red Sox infielder Kevin Youkilis five games each for their fight Tuesday night at Fenway Park.

Both players initially appealed the decisions, but have since dropped them and will begin serving their suspensions Wednesday night.

Youkilis charged Porcello after being hit in the back by a pitch.

MLB determined Porcello threw intentionally at Boston's Victor Martinez and Youkilis.

Also, Detroit pitcher Edwin Jackson was fined "for his aggressive actions during the bench-clearing incident."
