The article discusses the aftermath of a heated four-game series between the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers, highlighting the suspensions issued to managers Mike Shildt, Dave Roberts, and player Robert Suarez. The key incident involved Suarez hitting Dodgers star Shohei Ohtani, leading to multiple ejections. While Shildt and Roberts both received one-game suspensions, Suarez’s was initially three games but later reduced to two after he dropped his appeal. Despite the controversy, Suarez continued to play in subsequent games with the Padres before beginning his suspension.
"I mean, it's 3-0, and again, this is a right-handed pitcher going across court to hit Shohei up and in. That's a hard throw."
"Roberts asserted in both instances they were intentional. In the case of Suarez, Roberts said he 'absolutely' meant to hit the Dodgers' two-way star."
"Suarez remained active for the Padres over the weekend and into their current series with the Washington Nationals."
"Shildt and Suarez both deny intent in hitting Ohtani."
