Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Jack Flaherty had high praise for Randy Arozarena, even after their fiery exchange in Wednesday’s 8-4 win over the Seattle Mariners.
The right-hander hit Arozarena with a pitch in the beginning of the second frame. The left fielder wasn’t happy by Flaherty’s error and made it clear. The pair exchanged words as Flaherty walked to the dugout.
Despite the heated interaction, Flaherty had nothing but good things to say about Arozarena postgame.
“I respect Randy as a player. He’s been really good in this league as long as he’s been here,” Flaherty said.
