Manny Machado doesn’t need defending — but Ken Rosenthal should do some soul searching

The tsk tsking came early and frequently after the Padres put the screws to the Dodgers on Tuesday night. They evened up the five-game series with one win apiece at Chavez Ravine clubbing six home runs en route to a 10-2 victory.

To be clear, there were a lot of things to complain about. Dodgers fans were throwing baseballs and debris at the Padres outfielders. It delayed the start of the bottom of the seventh inning by at least seven or eight minutes — which is pretty substantial when Yu Darvish is sitting on 69 pitches and a rare chance for a postseason complete game.
