The Los Angeles Dodgers beat the San Diego Padres, 8-2, on Sunday and improved to 74-57 on the year. LA is back to being on top of the NL West, holding the tiebreaker over the Friars who currently have the same record.
Additionally, there is an exciting update to Max Muncy's injury. The All-Star third baseman was feared to miss the rest of the regular season, but manager Dave Roberts gave a promising report on the slugger.
Dave Roberts on the Padres fan that was heckling Shohei Ohtani: "Very annoying. He was in my right ear the entire game. It was very out of character from Shohei. It was good to see Shohei initiate a high-five. That was fun. It was great to see Shohei show his personality."
