Overview

• Dodgers rookie Jack Little, in his major league debut, plunked Fernando Tatis Jr. with a 93 mph fastball in the ninth inning.
• After the hit by pitch, both benches emptied before umpires ejected managers Dave Roberts and Mike Shildt following a heated dugout confrontation.
• Padres closer Robert Suarez hit Shohei Ohtani on a 3-0 count under prior warnings and was immediately tossed for his role in the late-inning tensions.
• Xander Bogaerts had four hits, including a second-inning home run, helping San Diego secure a 5-3 win to avoid a four-game sweep.
• Tatis’s initial X-rays proved inconclusive and the team scheduled a CT scan to assess his hand injury ahead of their August rematch.
