SAN FRANCISCO >> San Francisco Giants reliever Hunter Strickland has received a six-game suspension and Washington’s Bryce Harper four games for their roles in a benches-clearing brawl at AT&T Park.
Each also has been fined an undisclosed amount, Major League Baseball announced today. Both players planned to appeal.
