WATCH: Warnings issued on both Dodgers-Padres after Shohei Ohtani and Fernando Tatis Jr. got hit by pitch

Things got heated in the second game of the series between the San Diego Padres and the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday at Dodger Stadium after players from both teams were hit by a pitch.

San Diego star Fernando Tatis Jr. was hit by Lou Trivino's fastball in the top of the third inning. It seemed to be in retaliation to Andy Pages' hit-by-pitch in Monday's series opener by Padres ace Dylan Cease.

The Padres responded in the bottom of the third as San Diego starter Randy Vasquez hit Shohei Ohtani with a 94 mph fastball in his right leg. Ohtani grimaced in pain and jogged to first base after the hit. Both teams were warned after the hit by pitches.

However, Dodgers manager Dave Roberts was seemingly incensed with the umpire's decision to not toss Vasquez. Roberts confronted the umpire and was ejected for his outburst.

The reaction from Roberts was understandable as Shohei Ohtani is arguably the best player in the MLB and only resumed pitching on Monday.

Although having started out professionally as a cricket writer in 2022, Chaitanya's curiosity and indiscriminate interest in all sports in general eventually introduced him to America's favorite pastime.

While Chaitanya's favorite player from the current crop is the dynamic Venezuelan Ronald Acuna Jr., his all-time favorite, however, is Pedro Martinez, for his self-belief and consistency. He also rates Jose Bautista's iconic bat flip in 2015 as his favorite moment in baseball history.

Chaitanya specializes in reporting on technical aspects of the game or analyzing patterns behind specific plays. He also likes pondering over players' self-assessments following the conclusion of a game as it helps him get an idea of how they think about the sport in general.

When not cheering for his favorites across sports, Chaitanya likes being transported to the past through a good war documentary or a historical documentary in general.
