On Monday, Dodgers center fielder Andy Pages took exception to being hit by a pitch. Los Angeles retaliated on Tuesday by plunking Fernando Tatis Jr. in the top of the third inning. In the bottom half of the inning, Shohei Ohtani caught one in the upper leg.

Dodgers' Roberts ejected after Ohtani hit by pitch originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Tension remains high between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres. These National League West foes have had three postseason run-ins since 2020, igniting the rivalry to unparalleled heights.

Shohei Ohtani came out of his pitching debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers in good order, even if he was his own worst critic.
