Berries getting too much sun?

I'm new to the forums, so this will be my first post. We just planted some berries in our yard, 3 raspberries and 2 blackberries, last weekend. We have them on a V-trellis with a drip system watering them. Some of the bushes already had berries on them, and those are already looking pretty good. The flowers on the other bushes are looking pretty good as well. However, some of the leaves are starting to get a little brown. I'm going to increase the watering time for them, as the dirt has felt a little bit dry, but I was wondering if they may be getting too much sun/heat. We have a little heating streak hitting the SF Bay Area right now, so I thought that might be it.
Any ideas on how to keep the heat/sun off the bushes, or if we even need to?
