Playoff Showdown between Padres and Dodgers Stalled by Fan Backlash Against Jurickson Profar
During Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Sunday night, San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar faced a wave of hostility from fans at Dodger Stadium.
As the game unfolded, Profar was observed shouting at spectators in the outfield just moments before a ball was tossed in his direction.
This altercation caused a delay in the game while Profar conferred with the umpires and some of his teammates on the field.
Prior to this incident, Fernando Tatis Jr. experienced a similar confrontation in right field, where fans were reportedly tossing objects towards him.
In response to the escalating situation, security personnel were stationed along the foul lines as the events were assessed on the field.
Earlier in the first inning, Profar had already clashed with fans when he reached into the stands to snatch a potential home run from Mookie Betts, who had the chance to equalize the game.
