Dodgers and Padres Clash in High-Stakes NL West Showdown: Rivalry Reaches Fever Pitch
Manny Machado summed it up well, reminding us all that true emotions are still shrouded until Tatis’ X-rays and CT scans return. As he said, “They gotta pray for (results) to come back negative tomorrow. They should. Us, too, but they should for sure.” That’s the human side of this high-stakes game — no fancy stats, just raw concern.
And just when you thought the drama might cool, Dodgers’ Shohei Ohtani took a pitch to the back of his right shoulder — the very same night — yet stayed calm, waving off teammates collapsing the dugout’s edge and smartly taking his base without flinching. Roberts commented on that cool-headed approach, acknowledging Ohtani knew it was intentional but choosing to skip the chaos. Ohtani got hit twice in this charged series; so did Dodgers’ Andy Pages. The tension’s no fluke, folks.
