The Cleveland Indians announced Wednesday that starting pitcher Jeanmar Gomez has been suspended by Major League Baseball for 5 games and fined an undisclosed amount for intentionally hitting Kansas City Royals third baseman Mike Moustakas.

Gomez threw at Moustakas in retaliation for Royals’ starter Jonathon Sanchez hitting Shin-Soo Choo with a pitch. Sanchez, who threw the pitch that broke Choo’s thumb last season, and it appears the Indians were not thrilled about Sanchez hitting Choo with a pitch again this year.

Jeanmar Gomez is expected to appeal the suspensions and will likely make his scheduled start Saturday in Oakland.
