braking news Padres top Dodgers as fans throw baseballs,

The San Diego Padres achieved a historic feat by hitting six home runs in a playoff game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, resulting in a decisive 10-2 victory. This performance tied the MLB playoff record for home runs in a game, previously set by the Philadelphia Phillies and the Chicago Cubs. Notably, Fernando Tatis Jr. contributed significantly with two home runs, while the game was marred by unsportsmanlike behavior from Dodgers fans, who threw baseballs and trash at Padres players during the match.

Padres manager Mike Shildt condemned the fans' actions, emphasizing the need for better behavior as the series moves to San Diego. Tatis described the atmosphere at Dodger Stadium as "wild" but criticized the throwing of objects onto the field, stating it was unacceptable in a major league game. The Padres' offensive onslaught included contributions from players like David Peralta and Jackson Merrill, who also hit home runs, further extending their lead over the Dodgers.
