Angels vs Mariners bench clearing brawl results in 12 suspension: Who’re they?

On Saturday night, Mariner reliever Erik Swanson hit Mike Trout with a high-and-tight pitch, sowing the seeds for the brawl. After Los Angeles’ Andrew Wantz threw at Julio Rodriguez and later hit Jesse Winker, Trout and the Angels took offense, and things became heated on Sunday.

Several players and coaches received suspensions as a result of the conflict, although no one sustained any serious injuries.
