Overview

• Dylan Cease’s fastball caught Andy Pages on the elbow in the fourth inning, leading to a heated stare-down and both benches rising before order was restored
• Pages said he believed the plunking was deliberate, speculating the Padres thought he was relaying signs from second base after his double
• Cease maintained the hit-by-pitch was accidental and Manny Machado dismissed any suggestion the Padres would target a non-star opponent
• Dodgers manager Dave Roberts and Padres manager Mike Shildt conferred with umpires on the field and no warnings were issued
• Shohei Ohtani excelled on the mound and at the plate, helping Los Angeles secure the win and extend its lead over San Diego in the NL West standings
