A's catcher Jason Kendall has been suspended four games for charging the mound and Angels pitcher John Lackey was fined for his actions in the altercation. Kendall was also fined an undisclosed amount by MLB on Friday.

Unless appealed, Kendall's suspension will begin Friday night, when the A's play host to the Devil Rays.

Lackey threw a pitch to Kendall that started out high and inside, then sharply broke back toward the plate in the sixth inning of the A's 10-3 win on Tuesday. Kendall backed out of the batter's box, then suddenly charged the mound after Lackey said something about his elbow pad.

Kendall charged the mound and wrestled Lackey to the ground, emptying both dugouts and bullpens.
