"The start of Sunday's bottom of the seventh inning was delayed and close to two-dozen security guards lined the foul lines of Dodger Stadium after fans threw objects onto the field in Game 2 of the NLDS, further escalating tensions between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the division-rival San Diego Padres."
"Profar got into a heated discussion with umpires after two baseballs came dangerously close to him in the seventh, prompting all of the Padres' players, along with manager Mike Shildt, to come onto the field and gather around him."
"The tension began on the field, when Dodgers starting pitcher Jack Flaherty plunked Tatis in the left side with an 0-1 sinker to begin the sixth inning. Flaherty briefly apologized, but Profar and Dodgers catcher Will Smith then exchanged words at home plate."
"Moments later, Flaherty struck out Manny Machado, yelled towards him and motioned him back to the dugout. Machado was made aware of Flaherty's comments as he approached the dugout railing and stared him down as he was removed from the game immediately thereafter."
