Chapman was suspended by Major League Baseball for his part in a benches-clearing brawl Tuesday night in a 7-4 victory.

Shawon Dunston said he was a “wild” young shortstop – a few years removed from a tournament in Johnstown – when he arrived in the major leagues in 1985 and encountered an established star in new Chicago Cubs teammate Ryne Sandberg.

The Colorado Rockies have had the reputation as a home-run team since they debuted in 1993, but the San Francisco Giants are quickly becoming known for their power.

The Giants have now won nine of their last 10 games and are just five games out of the last wild card spot with less than a month to go in the regular season. Bob Melvin and company ran into a bit of a curious situation in the first inning when third baseman Matt Chapman was ejected from the game.
