Padres-Dodgers NLDS Game 2 marred by fan outrage and controversy

The recent NLDS Game 2 between the San Diego Padres and Los Angeles Dodgers saw intense emotions erupt not only on the field but in the stands as well. After the Padres dominated the game with a convincing 10-2 victory, fans at Dodger Stadium caused delays by throwing baseballs and trash at Padres players, particularly targeting outfielder Jurickson Profar. The situation escalated when a series of projectiles were hurled onto the field, leading to a 12-minute stoppage in the game. Profar had previously gained notoriety for robbing Mookie Betts of a home run, which appeared to fuel the frustration of the home crowd. Such incidents have heightened the rivalry between the two teams, making this playoff series one filled with tension and drama.
