Dodgers, Padres take NL West rivalry to boiling point
LOS ANGELES (AP) — It took seven games over 11 days for the simmer to reach full boil. The Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres flashed playoff intensity in their long-awaited first two series of the season and went face-to-face, quite literally, after 10 batters were hit during a stretch the Dodgers owned on the scoreboard. Advertisement In winning five of the seven games, the Dodgers also hit Fernando Tatis Jr. with pitches three times. The last of those came in the eighth inning of Thursday's 5-3 Padres victory when the benches finally cleared after Tatis was hit near the right hand. While the staredown behind home plate was more peacock feathers than fisticuffs, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and Padres manager Mike Shildt were ejected following a tense back-and-forth exchange. Afterward, the Padres' Manny Machado said his true feelings won't be known until Tatis gets results from X-rays and a CT scan. 'They gotta pray for (results) to come back negative tomorrow,' Machado said. 'They should. Us, too, but they should for sure.' Advertisement After Tatis was hit, the Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani took a pitch to the back of his right (pitching) shoulder from Robert Suarez. With Dodgers players starting to move over the dugout railing, Ohtani waved back his teammates and took first base. 'Well, I think he knew it was intentional,' Roberts said. 'He wasn't hurt by it, and he didn't want any more drama, which I respect that a lot.' Ohtani was hit twice in the series, each a half inning after Tatis was hit. The Dodgers' Andy Pages also was hit twice in the series. Roberts said he hoped Tatis does not miss extended time. 'I didn't feel good about Tatis — great player, good guy — getting hit,' Roberts said. 'I didn't feel good about it. And so as (Shildt) comes out, and he's yelling at me and staring me down, that bothers me. Because, to be quite frank, that's the last thing I wanted.' Advertisement Shildt said he has respect for the Dodgers but seeing Tatis get hit three times by their pitchers in less than two weeks doesn't sit right. He has also been hit by the Dodgers six times in his career, the most by any club. 'Whether it was (intentional) or it wasn't, enough is enough,' Shildt said. 'We got a guy who's getting X-rays right now, is one of the best players in the game, fortunately he's on our team, and this guy has taken shots, OK?' While the teams waited more than two months to face each other for the first time this season, there will be another two-month wait until they face off again Aug. 15-17 at Los Angeles and Aug. 22-24 at San Diego. 'It's going to be a fun ride,' Machado said. 'This division's freaking awesome, and it's going to be a fun ride going down the road. The Giants got better with (Rafael) Devers, and we know what these guys have on the other side. And what we have on this side. And obviously you can't count out Arizona. They've got a really good team over there. They're going to be battling. It's a four-headed monster battling it out, so it'll be an interesting second half.' ___ AP MLB: Doug Padilla, The Associated Press

Baseball: Yamamoto takes loss for Dodgers as Padres escape sweep
KYODO NEWS - 5 minutes ago - 17:08 | Sports, All Yoshinobu Yamamoto gave up three runs over 6-1/3 innings and was charged with the loss as the San Diego Padres avoided a four-game series sweep by beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-3 on Thursday. Yamamoto (6-6) surrendered a solo home run to Xander Bogaerts in the second inning and gave up one run apiece in the fifth and the seventh at Dodger Stadium. The home team went behind 5-0 before rallying for all three of their runs in the bottom of the ninth. The right-hander allowed seven hits while striking out five and did not issue a walk. Tensions that had simmered between the division rivals throughout the series boiled over late in the game, with both benches clearing after Fernando Tatis Jr. was hit by a pitch from Dodgers reliever Jack Little in the top of the ninth. San Diego closer Robert Suarez hit Shohei Ohtani with a pitch with two out and a runner on base in the bottom of the inning, with the Los Angeles bench appearing ready to rush the field again before Ohtani waved them off and walked to first. Suarez, who previously played in Japan for the SoftBank Hawks and Hanshin Tigers, was ejected from the game. Eight batters were hit by pitches over the course of the series. Japanese left-hander Yuki Matsui earned his first save after being called upon to get the final out. After his wild pitch led to a run and put runners on second and third, he struck out Dalton Rushing swinging to clinch the result for his team. The Dodgers announced earlier that Ohtani will make his second pitching start of the season on Sunday at home against the Washington Nationals. The two-way superstar made his first MLB mound appearance since August 2023 on Monday against the Padres, throwing 28 pitches while allowing one run in the one-inning outing.
