This is gold:
Boston Red Sox reliever Joe Kelly was suspended six games, and New York Yankees designated hitter Tyler Austin was suspended five games by Major League Baseball for their roles in a bench-clearing brawl Wednesday night.
Kelly and Austin were fined, too, but the amounts weren't immediately known. Both players will appeal their suspensions.
Six other players and coaches were punished for their roles in the brawl, including Red Sox manager Alex Cora, Yankees third-base coach Phil Nevin, pitcher CC Sabathia of the Yankees and shortstop Xander Bogaerts, infielder Marco Hernandez and second baseman Dustin Pedroia of the Red Sox.
