The Dodgers and Giants may be playing games that don’t technically count, but you wouldn’t know it. In a Spring Training game on Wednesday evening, the two teams got into it after a series of hit batters. Words were exchanged and warnings were issued in the process.
This all started when the Dodgers’ Justin Turner was hit by a pitch on the hand in his first at-bat. Johnny Cueto came up and in and clipped him on the hand that he broke in the Spring of 2018 on a similar pitch. In the following inning, Clayton Kershaw hit Rob Brantly with a pitch and the Giants’ third-base coach took exception.
