A ball was thrown. Profar approached the ball as left-field umpire Adrian Johnson got here as much as him, quickly joined by Padres supervisor Mike Shildt, San Diego gamers and extra umpires. Profar yelled and pointed earlier than teammate Xander Bogaerts put an arm round him and Padres gamers, together with Darvish, shaped a huddle.

Dodgers safety employees tried to establish the followers who triggered the difficulty, and public deal with announcer Todd Leitz informed the gang: “We ask that you don’t throw objects onto the sphere.”
