Explosive Dodgers-Padres Showdown Erupts Into Chaos After Shocking Hit-by-Pitches and Manager Ejections
The Padres took a five-run lead into the bottom of the ninth, so of course they decided to retaliate by having closer Robert Suarez throw at Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani. Suarez was quickly tossed from the game, while Ohtani waved off a few unhappy members of the Dodgers dugout from further escalating the conflict.
The Ohtani HBP actually left the Dodgers in an awkward situation, as it put the tying run at home plate with two outs in the ninth with their 2-3-4 hitters — Mookie Betts, Will Smith, Freddie Freeman — due up and the Padres having to bring in a new reliever. That would have been cause for hope, except Roberts pulled his 2-3-4 hitters for Miguel Rojas, Dalton Rushing and Kiké Hernández in the eighth inning.
