The tensions between the Los Angeles and San Diego Padres dodgers reached a boiling point at the top of the ninth round of the 5-3 Padres victory at the Dodger Stadium on Thursday.
The Padres star, Fernando Tatis Jr., struck with a ninth round outing with the paadres at the top of 5-0.
The dodgers relief launcher, Jack Little, launched a quick 93 MPH bullet running on Tatis and struck it by hand. It was the third time that the Dodgers launchers have been reaching Tatis in seven games this season.

The manager of Padres, Mike Shildt, was furious that Tatis was drilled again, and left his canoe and began to shout towards the Dodgers bench.
While Shildt walked through the field, the Dodgers manager, Dave Roberts, came out of his canoe, and the two managers were face to face for a moment before being distant from each other. The arenas and canoes of the two teams emptied to join the crashes.
Finally, the order was restored and the two teams returned to their respective canoes, but Shildt and Roberts were both ejected from the game. Although the two managers were launched, the fireworks were not yet finished.
At the bottom of the ninth round, the paadres were up 5-2 with two withdrawals and a man on the third basis with Shohei Ohtani to Bat.
The Padres lift, Robert Suarez, fell behind 3-0 in Ohtani’s account and on the next ground, Suarez Beaed Ohtani with a quick ball of 100 mi / h in his right shoulder.

The Japanese superstar agitated its canoe of the assault on the ground when it was descended the first base line to take its base. Suarez was expelled to shine Ohtani with the ground.
It was the second time that Ohtani was hit by a field in the series, the twice coming half of the round after the Dodgers hit Tatis with land.
It was also the sixth time that Tatis was touched by the Dodgers in his career, the most by all the clubs.
The paadres finally won 5-3, but their concern lies in the results of the radiographs of Tatis and the CTT.
“(Dodgers) must pray for (the results) to come back negative tomorrow,” said Padres third goal player Manny Machado. “They should also. We too, but they should certainly be.”

Shildt said the dodgers had struck fate intentionally or not.
“Whether (intentional) or that was not the case, enough,” said Shildt. “We have a guy who gets X -rays at the moment, is one of the best players in the game. Fortunately, he’s part of our team, and this guy has shots, ok?”
Roberts said that it bored him that Shildt had come out and had started to scream after him by blow.
“I didn’t feel good about Tatis – a great player, good guy – being touched,” said Roberts. “I didn’t feel good about it. And while (Shildt) goes out, and he shouts me and looks at me, who bothers me. Because, to be quite frank, it’s the last thing I wanted.”
Roberts also congratulated Ohtani for having seen the situation after being drilled.

“Well, I think he knew it was intentional,” said Roberts. “He was not injured by that, and he no longer wanted a drama, which I respect a lot.”
The Dodgers have taken three of the four games in the series and took five of the seven games that the two teams have played so far this season.
The next time the two rivals of NL West will face each other again, on August 15 to 17 in Los Angeles and August 22 to 24 in San Diego.
