The Los Angeles Dodgers’ biggest rival for the past several decades has been the San Francisco Giants. Those days might be gone with the San Diego Padres taking the crown.
In a heated Game 2 of the National League Division Series, marked by intense interactions between Padres outfielders Jurickson Profar and Fernando Tatis Jr. and unruly Dodgers fans in the pavilion seats, the Padres escalated the series’ intensity.
The result was chaotic but the Padres managed to match a postseason record by hitting six home runs, securing a blowout 10-2 win over the Dodgers to even the series on Sunday night.
