MLB has meted out its punishments for Wednesday’s brouhaha in St. Louis, and the league office largely agreed with the Mets’ view that the Cardinals instigated and escalated.
Cardinals star Nolan Arenado was suspended two games for “contributing to the incitement of the incident,” also known as barking at Mets reliever Yoan Lopez and then shoving Mets catcher Tomas Nido.
Lopez, who threw up and in at Arenado after four Mets were plunked over two games, was fined.
