MLB news: May 25 -- Cards' Pacheco and Nats' Grissom suspended for fisticuffs
St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Freddy Pacheco and Washington Nationals infielder Vaughn Grissom have been suspended after they exchanged punches during Washington's 10-5 win in D.C. on May 25.
Pacheco had just given up back-to-back home runs to Nick Gonzales and Drew Crews in the bottom of the eighth before he planted a pitch in the middle of Grissom's back.
Grissom responded by making a move toward the mound and all heck broke loose.
Both players will have to sit for five games.
