Red Sox Pitcher Matt Barnes has been fined an undisclosed amount and suspended four games after throwing a fastball at Orioles Third Baseman Manny Machado.

The incident happened in the eighth inning of Sunday's loss to the Red Sox.

The fastball appeared to be payback for Machado's slide into the leg of Red Sox Second Baseman.

Barnes is appealing the fine and suspension. He will be able to pitch during the process.

The Orioles and Red Sox face off again May 1 in Boston.
