US EditionDodgers, Padres take NL West rivalry to boiling point
- On June 20 at Dodger Stadium, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts pushed Padres manager Mike Shildt, triggering benches to clear during the ninth-inning of a heated game.
- The confrontation resulted from escalating tensions after Padres outfielder Fernando Tatis Jr. and Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani were each hit twice by pitches in two recent series.
- Dodgers pitcher Jack Little hit Tatis with a 93-mph pitch, prompting umpire Marvin Hudson to eject both managers and Padres closer Robert Suarez, who had earlier hit Ohtani with a 100-mph fastball.
- Roberts said there was "no intent there" in hitting Tatis and that "they made it personal" by targeting Ohtani twice, while Shildt said, "Whether it was or it wasn't, enough is enough."
- The Padres won 5-3 to avoid a series sweep, and both managers face heightened rivalry tensions as the teams play 13 times yearly, including a final series scheduled for August 22-24 in San Diego.
