Padres star Fernando Tatis Jr. hit in the third inning when Dodgers pitcher Lou Trivino threw a 95.4-mile ball and hit Tatis Jr.'s back to form a ball, which made Tatis Jr. a little unhappy.
When it was Shohei Ohtani's turn to hit in the third inning, Wazquez dropped the first ball in the inside corner, and the second 4-seam fastball of 93.8 miles hit Ohtani's right thigh, allowing the referee to warn both sides at the moment, and Dodgers coach Dave Roberts was ejected from the game because he was dissatisfied with the theory of going to the court. It was the first time this season and the 13th time in his career that Robles was ejected.

Vazquez clarified in an interview after the game that Shohei Ohtani's strategy at that time was to attack the inside corner with a speedball, "That was part of our plan, to take the inside corner, and we also executed this pitching strategy, which was not intentional at all." ”
But Roblessay said in an interview that the Padres definitely deliberately smashed Shohei Ohtani, "We admire them because they hit Ohtani in the leg, just admit it, and we'll move on." It's not a miss, I think it's intentional. It's also part of baseball, though, and we all get it. ”

Commenting on his ejection from third base judge Tripp Gibson, Robles said, "I just wanted to talk about... I don't think it's reasonable for both sides to be warned at the same time, I want to know how they discussed it, I didn't go up in an emotional way, I just wanted to know why, and only later did I realize that I was kicked out of the game. ”
