Washington Nationals’ Bryce Harper (34) hits San Francisco Giants’ Hunter Strickland in the face after being hit with a pitch in the eighth inning of a baseball game.
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.
Strickland hit Harper in the hip with a pitch and the Washington slugger charged the mound, wildly firing his helmet and trading punches to the head with Strickland during the Nationals’ 3-0 win Monday over the San Francisco Giants.
