 On June 16 , Young threw a pitch that hit Chicago Cubs All @-@ Star first baseman Derrek Lee on the back of the upper left arm . The day before the fracas , Alfonso Soriano homered off David Wells , and the Padres believed Soriano showed poor sportsmanship by admiring and celebrating his home run . The pitch nicked Lee 's left hand near his surgically repaired wrist . When the 6 ft 5 in ( 1 @.@ 96 m ) Lee began walking towards first base , both he and Young , 6 ft 10 in ( 2 @.@ 08 m ) , exchanged words , and a bench @-@ clearing altercation ensued . Both Young and Lee were ejected from the game , along with Jake Peavy and Cubs bench coach Gerald Perry . On June 18 , Young and Lee were suspended five games each for their roles in the brawl , and Perry was suspended three games . All suspended parties were fined , as were Peavy and Brian Giles . Young and Lee appealed their suspensions , which were to begin the following day . At the time of the scuffle in the fourth inning , both pitchers were working on no @-@ hitters . Young was ejected in the game , and he earned a no @-@ decision in the game which the Padres ultimately won 1 – 0 .
