Both managers ejected in Dodgers-Padres brawl after Fernando Tatis Jr. HBP, SD retaliates with Shohei Ohtani plunking
Shohei Ohtani was one of the cooler heads in the ninth inning of Padres-Dodgers on Thursday. (Jayne Kamin-Oncea-Imagn Images) A testy four-game series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres culminated in a ninth-inning brawl on Thursday, sparked by a Fernando Tatis hit-by-pitch. With the Dodgers down three runs in the eighth inning, the team brought in rookie Jack Little for his MLB debut. It wasn't the smoothest debut for the right-hander, who allowed four hits, two earned runs, a walk and, crucially, that HBP. Advertisement Little left a pitch high and inside on Tatis on a 1-1 count, hitting the two-time All-Star on the hand. In many games, that would be chalked up to a bad pitch by a nervous rookie who clearly didn't have his command. In a series that had already seen six total hit-by-pitches, some of them clearly retaliatory, the Padres saw it as one last shot before the two teams part ways until mid-August. Padres manager Mike Shildt immediately walked onto the field and berated the Dodgers dugout as he approached his player. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts came out to, er, discuss the matter with his colleague. Cue benches clearing and a lot of shoving. The brawl resulted in Roberts being pushed into the netting behind home plate, yelling "We'll talk later" at Shildt, according to the Dodgers broadcast. Advertisement The incident resulted in Shildt and Roberts both getting ejected, and Tatis exiting the game for pinch runner Trenton Brooks. 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. Advertisement Rojas drew a walk against Yuki Matsui and a balk on a ball that went behind the catcher's chest protector set up Rushing for a game-tying hit, but the rookie struck out swinging on a full count to end the game. The Padres won 5-3. The win salvaged the series for the Padres, who lost the first three games of the week as well as two of three in a series last week. The total HBP count: two for Ohtani, two for Tatis, two Dodgers outfield Andy Pages, one for Jose Iglesias and one for Bryce Johnson. The 46-30 Dodgers still sit first place in the NL West, 3.5 games ahead of the San Francisco Giants and five games ahead of the Padres. It was an eventful day overall for Los Angeles, which saw an appearance by Department of Homeland Security agents in the morning and starting pitcher Yoshinobu Yamamoto lose an immaculate inning on a clearly blown call.

LA Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani pitches and bats in game for first time since 2023
Shohei Ohtani gave up a pair of two-strike hits and a run in his Los Angeles Dodgers pitching debut against the San Diego Padres on Monday night, 21 months after the two-way superstar had elbow surgery. Ohtani threw 28 pitches – 16 for strikes – in the first inning as fans hung on every one of them. They oohed when a fastball was clocked at 100.2 mph – the second-hardest pitch thrown by a Dodgers hurler this season. Ohtani appeared to be laboring on the mound, his face sweaty. He warmed up to his usual music, Michael Bublé's version of Feeling Good. After retiring Xander Bogaerts on a grounder for the third out, Ohtani walked over to an umpire who checked his hands and glove. He didn't enter the dugout. Instead, he put on his batting gloves and other equipment near the railing and walked to the on-deck circle to prepare to lead off the bottom of the inning. Ohtani struck out swinging against Padres starter Dylan Cease, but then tied the score at 1 with an RBI double to left-center in the third. 'He's ready, he's adamant, he feels good, strong, ready to pitch a major league game,' Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said before the game. 'I think everyone in that clubhouse, I think the fans, media, we've been waiting for this moment.' Ohtani faced Fernando Tatis Jr, Luis Arráez, Manny Machado, Gavin Sheets and Bogaerts in the first. Tatis flared a single to center field and went to second on Ohtani's wild pitch. Arráez singled and Machado's sacrifice fly scored Tatis. Sheets and Bogaerts grounded out. That was it for Ohtani on the mound. Anthony Banda replaced him in the second. 'I think I got the best seat in the house to watch it and to watch this guy start and then take an at-bat,' Roberts said. 'This is bananas. I'm thrilled.' Major League Baseball made the game available for free on streaming site The Japanese right-hander was pitching in a big league game about three weeks after facing hitters in simulated at-bats for the first time. All the while, Ohtani was still wielding his powerful bat in the lineup for the NL West leaders. 'It got to the point where, hey, it feels like we should take that next step and almost look to finish the rehab at the major league level because of the taxing nature of what he was doing,' Dodgers general manager Brandon Gomes said. Typically, pitchers returning from injuries go on minor league rehab assignments, but Ohtani is an exception. 'It's been really encouraging overall the way he's bounced back and been able to continue to feel good doing both,' Gomes said. Roberts said: 'You've got to hear the player and trust the player.' Roberts briefly considered not having Ohtani bat leadoff, but the slugger assured his manager he was fine with it. 'It could change going forward,' Roberts said, 'but right now he feels very comfortable with taking the mound and coming in the dugout and getting on his stuff to go take an at-bat.' Gomes acknowledged the team is in a unique situation, trying to balance Ohtani's offensive prowess with his pitching ability while erring on the side of caution. 'We don't know how he's going to come out, if his legs are going to be tired. We have to make sure that we're also keeping one of our best hitters in the lineup,' Gomes said. 'It has to be an ongoing conversation and making sure that Shohei is the one driving this conversation.' The three-time MVP began the night batting .290 with 25 homers, which led the National League, 41 RBIs and 11 stolen bases in the leadoff spot. While Ohtani won't be throwing deep into games at first, just his presence on the mound figures to bolster a staff that has been decimated by injuries. The Dodgers have eight starters, including Tyler Glasnow, Blake Snell and Japanese phenom Roki Sasaki, and six relievers on the injured list. Roberts said he and the coaches would watch Ohtani's command, delivery, and ability to repeat his mechanics. 'Like he always does, he's going to give everything he has and we expect a high-quality outing,' Gomes said. Ohtani is already on the roster as the designated hitter, so the Dodgers are essentially adding an extra pitcher without having to make a corresponding roster move. 'It's not going to be a once-every-five-day situation, so there's going to be plenty of time to recover,' Roberts said. 'We also have the luxury of pitching him as much as we want as far as in a particular outing.' Ohtani helped the Dodgers win their eighth World Series title – and his first – last season, the first of a $700m, 10-year contract. He earned his third MVP award and first in the National League. He hadn't pitched since 2023 with the Los Angeles Angels. He was 10-5 with a 3.14 ERA and 167 strikeouts in 23 starts that season. His last mound appearance was on Aug. 23, 2023, when he got hurt during an outing against Cincinnati. Ohtani had Tommy John surgery on 1 October 2018, and is recovering from a second major operation on his right elbow 19 September 2023. As a pitcher, he entered 38-19 with a 3.01 ERA and 608 strikeouts in 481 2/3 innings during his major league career. 'The main goal is obviously to have him strong down the stretch run and through October,' Gomes said.

Yankees beat Padres as Wells' grand slam gives him 5 RBIs in 10-run 7th inning
Austin Wells had five RBIs in a 10-run seventh inning, hitting a tying single and then his first career grand slam, as the New York Yankees rolled to a 12-3 victory over the San Diego Padres on Tuesday night. Aaron Judge launched his 12th homer of the season in the fourth for the Yankees, who snapped a three-game skid. New York was leading 8-3 when Wells lifted a full-count changeup from ex-Yankee Wandy Peralta into the right-field seats to turn the game into a rout. The Yankees had their biggest inning this season, getting seven hits off Adrian Morejon (1-1) and Peralta. Wells started the outburst with an RBI single that scored Jasson Domínguez from second to tie it at 3. Trent Grisham took a four-pitch walk against Peralta to give the Yankees the lead after pinch-hitter Paul Goldschmidt was intentionally walked. Ben Rice hit a two-run double for a 6-3 advantage. Cody Bellinger added an RBI single after Judge was intentionally walked, and Anthony Volpe hit an RBI single before Wells went deep. Fernando Tatis Jr. hit an RBI double in the seventh off Fernando Cruz (1-0) but the Padres left the bases loaded after taking a 3-2 lead. Judge homered off former teammate Michael King to extend his on-base streak to 32 games. Bellinger scored on a throwing error by Tatis in right field later in the fourth. Manny Machado scored San Diego's first run on a balk by Clarke Schmidt in the fourth. Jackson Merrill had two hits in his return from a hamstring injury and scored the Padres' second run on a sacrifice fly by Jason Heyward. King allowed two runs and three hits in six innings. Schmidt permitted two runs and seven hits in six innings. Key moment After giving up Tatis' double, Cruz walked Luis Arraez but struck out Machado to keep the deficit at one run. Key stat Rice got his fifth hit in 31 at-bats against left-handed pitching this season. Up next San Diego RHP Dylan Cease (1-2, 5.61 ERA) opposes New York LHP Max Fried (6-0, 1.01 ERA) in Wednesday night's series finale.
