LOS ANGELES -- Shohei Ohtani took a 100 mph fastball to his right shoulder blade in the bottom half of Thursday night's ninth inning, marking the eighth time a batter had been hit in another tension-filled series between the Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres.
Anger filled Dodger Stadium, by which point a sold-out crowd had mostly filed out. Players were ready to spill out of the dugout once more. But Ohtani raised his left hand and vigorously waved teammates off as he made his walk toward first base, clamoring for peace.
