Pirates' Keone Kela hit with 10-game suspension for Tuesday brawl

Pittsburgh Pirates reliever Keone Kela has been suspended 10 games for his actions in Tuesday night's brawl with the Cincinnati Reds.

What It Means:

Kela intentionally threw at the head of Derek Dietrich and played a role in instigating the benches-clearing brouhaha. He filed an appeal and will remain active until a decision is made.

Kela has recorded a 3.45 ERA with 17 strikeouts in 15 2/3 innings (18 games) out of the Pirates' bullpen this season.
