Milwaukee Brewers pitchers Abner Uribe and Freddy Peralta were suspended six and five games, respectively, for their roles in Tuesday’s benches-clearing incident against Tampa Bay, Major League Baseball announced.

MLB also announced Wednesday that Rays outfielder Jose Siri was handed a three-game suspension for his role in the skirmish. Brewers manager Pat Murphy received a two-game ban for inappropriate conduct toward officials, the league said.

Murphy began serving his suspension during Wednesday’s game. Siri was not in the starting lineup for the Rays.

All four parties also received an undisclosed fine for their actions during Tuesday’s game, an 8-2 win by the Brewers.

Peralta was tossed after hitting Siri with a pitch with one out in the sixth inning and Milwaukee up 6-1.
