US EditionShohei Ohtani, Fernando Tatis Jr. Hit by Pitches as Dodgers, Padres Avoid Brawl in Heated NL West Game
- On June 19, during a matchup between the Dodgers and Padres, both Shohei Ohtani and Fernando Tatis Jr. were hit by pitches, prompting both teams’ benches to clear without escalating into a physical altercation.
- Tensions rose because Tatis was hit in the elbow by Dodgers rookie Jack Little with the Padres leading 5-0, while earlier Ohtani was hit on a 3-0 count by Padres reliever Robert Suárez in apparent retaliation.
- Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was ejected after confronting Padres manager Mike Shildt, who charged out of the dugout angrily, while Ohtani calmed his teammates by waving them down from the dugout.
- Tatis was scheduled for a CT scan to evaluate any potential injury, with Roberts expressing concern about him being hit, and Padres third baseman Manny Machado hoping the scan results would be clear when they come back the following day.
- The Dodgers won the game 8-6, retain first place in the NL West, and the Padres remain five games behind with a 40-34 record; both teams have faced each other seven times in the past 10 days with numerous hit-by-pitches exchanged.
