I agree. it does seem to be sun scald. This happens when there is moisture on the leaves when the sun rises intesifying the rays. They plants should be fine. As temperatures rise the morning dew dries quicker so as the sun rises it has less and less chance of scalding.
If tomato plants don't have enough foliage to protect the fruit you also see scalding on fruit later in the year.
