SAN FRANCISCO – The Giants did not emerge from Monday’s brawl unscathed.
Moments before Tuesday’s first pitch, the club placed first baseman Michael Morse on the 7-day concussion disabled list and recalled infielder/outfielder Kelby Tomlinson from Triple-A Sacramento.
Morse knocked heads with Jeff Samardzija during the fight. They were the first two players to reach the combatants after right-hander Hunter Strickland hit Bryce Harper with a pitch and Harper charged the mound.
Harper later expressed gratitude for Morse, a former teammate with the Nationals, for impeding Samardzija from possibly landing a punch.
Samardzija apparently was OK after the collision.
