The Dodgers did not have their best night of the year on Wednesday evening. After Julio Urias only went 1.2 innings and struggled, the umpires didn’t do them any favors. Several players took issue with homeplate umpire Mark Ripperger’s strike zone, and it boiled over.
In the 6th inning, Max Muncy took a few balls that appeared to be down in the zone, but Ripperger disagreed. Roberts got thrown out from the dugout when he yelled out in disagreement. Just a few pitches later, Muncy struck out and had some words to say as he headed back to the Dodgers dugout.
