With the Padres trailing 4–2 to the Phillies in the top of the ninth of Game 3 of the NLCS, they needed a spark from infielder Jurickson Profar.
Phillies closer Seranthony Dominguez fired a 3–2, 99 mph fastball off the inner half of the plate. Profar checked his swing and dropped his bat to trot to first base on what he assumed was ball four. Instead, the third base umpire called strike three on the appeal up the line.
Profar took exception to the call to say the least, screaming expletives and pointing in the umpire’s direction.
