The rivalry between the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers reached new heights during NLDS Game 2, which devolved into chaos both on and off the field. The Padres secured a decisive 10-2 victory, highlighted by a record-setting six home runs, but the game was marred by fans throwing baseballs and beer cans at Padres players, particularly targeting Jurickson Profar. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts accused Manny Machado of intentional provocation, while fans reacted angrily to the game, leading to delays and heightened tensions. Amid the on-field drama, the rivalry intensified as both teams exchanged barbs and accusations ahead of Game 3.
