Notes & reviews

Dave Concepcion left with groin injury
Joaquin Andujar threw a pitch near Joe Morgan's head
Andujar threw a pitch at Morgan in the fourth inning, so Bonham retaliated by throwing a pitch behind Andujar here; both benches clear; and a brawl ensued; Cedeno and Knight ejected by HP umpire Pryor
