The Dodgers and Padres are beginning to really feel like a real rivalry — and Thursday night time’s sport with a benches-clearing incident solely added to that.
After San Diego star Fernando Tatis was drilled on the elbow within the high of the ninth inning by Jack Little, Padres supervisor got here out of the guests’ dugout and had some phrases for house plate umpire Marvin Hudson earlier than barking at Dodgers skipper Dave Roberts.
That’s when issues bought heated as Roberts got here off the bench and bought near Shildt, showing to provide the Padres supervisor a little bit of a shove, resulting in gamers from each groups exiting their respective dugouts and bullpens.
Shildt and Roberts needed to be held again because the fracas moved towards the primary row of the stands behind house plate.
When the whole lot was settled, there have been two ejections — Roberts and Shildt — within the Padres’ 5-3 win over the Dodgers.
