Ron Paul, Rick Santorum Suggest Foul Play From Romney Campaign
Jorge Posada will pay the price for his role in the brawl between the Yankees and Blue Jays Tuesday night. The New York catcher has been suspended for three games and fined for his actions by Major League Baseball.Posada elected to begin serving his suspension immediately.
Jesse Carlson, the Toronto reliever who was the other party at the center of the bench-clearing scuffle, will begin serving a three-game suspension for his role in the incident Wednesday night.
Carlson's suspension was first reported by MLB.com.
The Yankees' Shelley Duncan was also suspended for three games, but he has elected to appeal.
Posada sparked the brawl when he brushed past Carlson after scoring a run in the eighth inning of the Yankees' 10-4 loss to the Blue Jays, raising the ire of the Toronto reliever. Earlier in the inning, Carlson threw behind the New York backstop, a move many saw as retaliation.
Two Blue Jays -- Edwin Encarnacion and Aaron Hill -- were hit by pitches earlier in the game.
Home plate umpire Jim Joyce was critical of Posada's actions after the game.
"As he ran past Carlson, he gave him a little shove with his elbow. It was very unsportsmanlike," Joyce told a pool reporter. "It was a cheap shot."
Toronto catcher Rod Barajas, New York hitting coach Kevin Long and New York reliever Edwar Ramirez were also fined for their roles in the brawl.
