Jose Iglesias the hero as Padres escape Royals
June 22 - Jose Iglesias' RBI infield single in the bottom of the ninth inning Sunday lifted the San Diego Padres to a 3-2 win over the visiting Kansas City Royals. Luis Arraez started the winning rally with a leadoff single off Daniel Lynch IV (3-2) and Xander Bogaerts lined a one-out double to left-center to push Arraez to third. Kansas City inserted John Schneider to face Iglesias but he slapped an 0-2 pitch up the middle. Shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. gloved it but his off-balance throw home wasn't in time. Robert Suarez (2-3) pitched a scoreless ninth for the win, getting help from his defense. Freddy Fermin ripped a two-out double to right-center after Drew Waters walked. But Waters was called out at home for running out of the baseline after missing the plate as he dove to avoid the tag of catcher Elias Diaz. Iglesias pinch-hit in the seventh inning and tied the game on a two-run single to right. That hit no-decisioned both starters after strong outings. Kansas City's Seth Lugo allowed just two hits and a run in 6 1/3 innings with no walks and seven strikeouts, while San Diego's Randy Vasquez pitched a season-high seven innings, yielding five hits and two runs with two walks and two strikeouts. The first 6 1/2 innings were dominated completely by pitching, except for a mistake in the top of the sixth by Vasquez. After Vinnie Pasquantino's one-out single, Salvador Perez pounced on a cutter that drifted over the middle. He yanked it an estimated 412 feet over the wall in left-center, his ninth homer. Lugo mowed down 18 straight hitters after Fernando Tatis Jr. slapped a leadoff single in the first. But the Padres got a leadoff double from Jackson Merrill in the seventh, then tied it against the Royals' bullpen. Angel Zerpa issued two-out walks to Gavin Sheets and Bogaerts to fill the bases. After Iglesias was announced as a pinch-hitter for Jake Cronenworth, Kansas City lifted Zerpa for Lucas Erceg. But Iglesias poked an 0-2 pitch to right to score Merrill and Sheets, evening the score at 2. --Field Level Media

Dodgers' Dave Roberts blasts Padres pitcher for throwing at Shohei Ohtani
The post Dodgers' Dave Roberts blasts Padres pitcher for throwing at Shohei Ohtani appeared first on ClutchPoints. One of baseball's most intense rivalries took a fiery turn on Tuesday night when San Diego Padres pitcher Randy Vasquez hit Los Angeles Dodgers slugger Shohei Ohtani in the third inning. When asked if it was intentional, Los Angeles manager Dave Roberts was blunt. Advertisement 'Absolutely,' Roberts, speaking after his team's 8-6 win, said when asked if he believes Vasquez hit Ohtani on purpose. 'He hasn't come close. For me, if they feel that's warranted on their side — part of baseball, that's what they feel. I give him credit because they hit him in the leg. Own it, and we move on. It's not a misfire. I do feel it was intentional. Again, that's part of baseball, which we all understand.' Vasquez's first pitch to Ohtani in that third inning was an inside fastball that brushed the All-Star back. The second hit him directly on his right quad. Warnings were issued to both sides, which caused Roberts to argue and eventually earn his first ejection of the year. The situation occurred a half-inning after Padres right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr. was hit by Dodgers reliever Lou Trivino. It was also not the first time that the series has gone down this road. On Monday night, Dodgers center fielder Andy Pages got hit by a fastball on his left elbow from Padres starter Dylan Cease. Pages barked at Cease after the pitch, and later said that he felt it was intentional. Advertisement The Dodgers and Padres long standing rivalry has received a boost over the past few years thanks in large part to the team's Postseason history. San Diego defeated LA in the 2022 NLDS, and the Dodgers returned the favor in 2024 when they bounced the Padres in the same round after trailing 2-1 through the first three games of the series. 'I think it's fantastic,' Padres manager Mike Shildt said of the tension in this series. 'Look, the best part about a rivalry is people are going to bring their best shot. Good news is both teams are bringing it every night. We love it. We can't do it, but I wish we played them every night.' The two rivals will finish their four game set this week with games scheduled for both Wednesday and Thursday night in Los Angeles. The Dodgers have won the first two games of the series.

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