Cade Cavalli, Willson Contreras suspended 7 games after Nationals-Red Sox benches-clearing fracas

Major League Baseball suspended Washington Nationals pitcher Cade Cavalli and Boston Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras seven games each following a benches-clearing brawl on Tuesday. The incident was sparked when Cavalli yelled 'Sit down, boy' after striking out Contreras, a comment picked up by the NESN broadcast, prompting Contreras to charge the mound and throw his helmet. Four ejections resulted from the fight, and while Contreras was ejected on the night, Cavalli was not, though he later apologized the following day.
