After a violent fan altercation during the Freeway Series finale between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Los Angeles Angels resulted in a pair of arrests at Angel Stadium last week, Dodger Stadium personnel evidently took note ahead of this weekend's home series against the San Diego Padres.
With tensions expected to be heightened during the National League West showdown, the Dodgers planned ahead and roped off the standing room section of the concourse that surrounds the Padres bullpen for Friday night's game (which the Dodgers won, 3-2).
The Dodgers' Friday victory brings them even with their rivals atop the NL West standings after the Padres knocked them out of first place earlier in the week.
