Boston-Minnesota Fight Results in Suspensions Monday, July 12th, 2066 There were a few hotheads at the Boston-Minnesota game at Fenway Park yesterday, but the cooler heads prevailed and kept fisticuffs to a minimum. It all started when Manny González of the Red Sox and Steven Mitchell of the Twins apparently exchanged some verbal unpleasantries and rushed at one another and began wrestling on the ground. Both benches emptied, but didn't get involved other than a little shoving. Order was quickly restored, the two instigators were ejected by the umpires and the game continued. The league office took quick action and today announced that both players would be suspended 3 games for inappropriate on-field behavior. In 92 games this season González has batted at a .267 pace with 92 hits and 19 home runs. To date this year Mitchell has compiled a 5-9 mark with a 4.86 ERA in 20 starts. |
