Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Chris Archer received a five-game suspension while Cincinnati Reds outfielder Yasiel Puig got a two-game ban for their roles in a bench clearing melee Sunday at PNC Park. Reds manager David Bell also received a one-game suspension and, like Puig, an undisclosed fine for what the league called their “aggressive actions” during the incident. Bell and Puig will begin serving their suspensions tonight against Miami, while Archer’s ban is subject to appeal. He was also fined.
