""I wasn't trying to hit him. He was trying to get hit, and then he got hit and proceeded to tell me whatever he told me. "I'm not going to take disrespect like that. I'm going to ask him what his problem is. He said something and started walking to first base, and I'm not going to take that. Whatever. It is what it is. That's part of the game.""
"The left-hander threw two fastballs up-and-in to Giménez before hitting him on a 2-2 count. That came after he appeared to stick his hand out in effort to get hit on the previous pitch. Giménez and Wrobleski exchanged words with each other, prompting both teams' benches and bullpens to clear. Crew chief Mark Wegner issued warnings, but no players were ejected."
Game 7 of the 2025 World Series featured a benches-clearing incident after Justin Wrobleski hit Andrés Giménez with a pitch in the bottom of the fourth inning. Wrobleski threw two fastballs up-and-in before the pitch, and Giménez appeared to stick his hand out on the previous pitch. The two exchanged words, both teams' benches and bullpens cleared, and umpires issued warnings without ejecting any players. The Dodgers rallied to defeat the Blue Jays 5-4 in 11 innings and repeat as World Series champions. Wrobleski worked 1.1 scoreless innings, allowing two hits and recording two strikeouts before being removed with runners on base.
