Yankees, Red Sox disciplined
Pitchers Pedro Astacio of the Boston Red Sox and Brad Halsey of the New York Yankees have each been disciplined for their actions during the Yankees-Red Sox game in Boston, Massachusetts on September 26, 2004. Bob Watson, Vice President of On-Field Operations for Major League Baseball, made the announcement.
Astacio has been suspended for three games and fined an undisclosed amount for intentionally throwing a pitch at New York's Kenny Lofton during the top of the eighth inning.
Halsey has been suspended for three games and fined an undisclosed amount for intentionally throwing a pitch at Boston's Dave Roberts during the bottom of the eighth inning.
Both Astacio and Halsey have filed appeals. Therefore, the suspensions will be held in abeyance until the processes are complete.
