Tensions flared between the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers after a benches-clearing brawl. Fernando Tatis Jr. was hit by a pitch, prompting retaliation when Padres closer Robert Suárez hit Shohei Ohtani. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts accused Suárez of intentional targeting. Both managers and several coaches were ejected. Tatis's X-ray was negative, but his status is uncertain. Eight players were hit by pitches in the four-game series, fueling the escalating rivalry.
