The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres, 6-3, as Shohei Ohtani returned to the pitcher’s mound after 22 months away. L.A. improved to 44-29 on the year as they won the first of four games against the Friars, thanks to Ohtani not only pitching in the first inning, but also adding a pair of RBIs later that same evening.
In the fourth inning — the inning in which the Dodgers blew the game open — Dylan Cease hit Andy Pages with a 98 mph fastball that Pages felt was intentional. He exchanged some words with Cease with the dugouts ready to fight, but nothing happened beyond that.
