    - Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw, manager Joe Torre and bench coach Bob Schaefer were all suspended Wednesday as a result of incidents in the team's loss to the San Francisco Giants a night earlier.

    Bob Watson, vice president in charge of discipline, rules and on-field operations for Major League Baseball, announced the discipline, which included undisclosed fines for all three.

    Kershaw was handed a five-game suspension for intentionally throwing at Giants center fielder Aaron Rowand in the seventh inning of Tuesday night's game, which the Dodgers lost 7-5, their sixth straight defeat.

    Kershaw has appealed, so he'll be allowed to play until the process is complete.
