Notes & reviews

Josh Harrison ran into Yadier Molina at HP; Harrison's shoulder hit Molina's hockey-style face mask; Molina held the ball but fell to the ground where he was treated by the trainer; Molina left with a headache, left upper back, neck and shoulder strain but no concussion symptoms
both teams warned by HP umpire Adrian Johnson
