Los Angeles Dodgers manager Dave Roberts accused San Diego Padres' third baseman Manny Machado of intentionally throwing a baseball into the Dodgers dugout, nearly hitting him, during Game 2 of the National League Division Series. Roberts described the incident as "unsettling," "bothersome," and "disrespectful," adding that "there was intent behind it." He didn't notice the throw at the time but realized what happened after watching a video afterward. Roberts also commented on the Padres, saying, "They like the villain-type kind of role." The incident underscores rising tensions between the Dodgers and the Padres, as the Padres evened the series 1-1 after the game.
