Tatis and Ohtani hit by pitches, and furious Dodgers manager Dave Roberts gets ejected in 3rd

Al Arabiya5 days ago

Shohei Ohtani was hit by a pitch from San Diego Padres starter Randy Vásquez in the third inning Tuesday night, and Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was ejected after arguing on the field. In the top of the inning, Dodgers reliever Lou Trivino plunked Fernando Tatis Jr. – the second time the slugger has been hit by the Dodgers this season.
In apparent retaliation, Ohtani was hit in the right leg near his knee, drawing heavy boos from the crowd. The umpires warned both benches. Roberts came out of the dugout for an animated discussion with crew chief Marvin Hudson along the third base line. Apparently upset that his team had been warned, Roberts grew increasingly angry while gesturing sharply. Third base umpire Tripp Gibson joined in and soon tossed Roberts. It was the manager's first ejection this season and the 13th of his career.

Gündogan has two goals, Haaland scores as Man City routs Al Ain 6-0 at the Club World Cup

ATLANTA: lkay Gündogan had a pair of goals, Erling Haaland scored on a penalty and Manchester City locked up its spot in the knockout round of the Club World Cup with a 6-0 rout of Al Ain on Sunday night. Claudio Echeverri, Oscar Bobb and Rayan Cherki also scored for City, which is trying to put an encouraging capper on a disappointing season. The English powerhouse finished third in the Premier League after four straight championships and went down to Real Madrid in the knockout playoff of the UEFA Champions League. With an entirely new lineup after a 2-0 win over Morocco's Wydad in the group opener, Man City produced a dominating performance in Atlanta against an overmatched club from the United Arab Emirates. The time of possession was a staggering 74 percent in favor of the English side, which outshot Al Ain 21-5. Haaland buried the penalty for his 32nd goal of the season across all competitions after a video review found that Rami Rabia took down City's Manuel Akanji in the area on a corner kick. Cherki, one of City's high-profile signings, scored his first goal for his new club in the waning minutes. The expected result sent Man City and Italian club Juventus (both 2-0-0) to the Round of 16 from Group G. Al Ain has been blown out twice, losing 5-0 to Juventus in its opener. Manchester City is the reigning club champion, winning the title in 2023 under the former seven-team format. Key moment After Gündogan flicked in an early goal over the head of keeper Khalid Eisa, Echeverri assured this would be an easy night for City in the 27th minute. With a free kick from just outside the area, he curled a shot over the wall that left Eisa frozen on one knee while the ball ripped the back of the net. Takeaways Man City will face Juventus on Thursday in Orlando to determine which team claims the top spot in the group. Then the real work begins. They said it 'We played a little bit better than the first game, especially in the second half, but still there are a few things you have to improve.' — Manchester City coach Pep Guardiola. 'We know where our level is, but you cannot be happy ... because against this team, you must be disciplined from the first until the last second of the game.' — Al Ain coach Vladimir Ivić.
