The San Diego Padres celebrated their 6-3 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers with a clever move on Sunday. Outfielder Jurickson Profar hit a three-run double in the top of the seventh inning, breaking the tie and securing the win for the Padres. This came after a heated altercation between Profar and Dodgers pitcher Gavin Stone in the previous game.
The Padres’ social media account took a jab at the Dodgers by referencing a quote from Dodgers catcher Will Smith, who questioned why the Dodgers would have thrown at Profar. The Padres made sure to make their swing count in response to the incident, showcasing their victory.
The benches had emptied during the altercation between Profar and Stone, and the tension carried over into Sunday’s game. Despite no hits in the incident, it was clear that there was animosity between the two teams.
In the end, the Padres had the last laugh with their victory and successfully used a quote from their rivals to add fuel to the fire. The Padres showed resilience and determination in their win over the Dodgers, proving that they are a force to be reckoned with in the MLB.
