It was the second time Ohtani was hit by a pitch in the series, both came during the half -lap after Dodgers hit Tatis with a pitch.
It was also the sixth time Tatis had been hit by dodgers in his career, most of any club.
Padres won 5-3, but their concern lies with the results of Tatis’ X-ray and CT scan.
“(Dodgers) must ask for (results) to come back negative tomorrow,” Padre’s third Baseman Manny Machado said. “They should too. Us, but they should definitely.”
“Whether it was (intentional) or it wasn’t, is enough,” Shild said. “We got a guy who gets x -rays right now is one of the best players in the game. Fortunately, he’s on our team and this guy has taken shots, ok?”
Roberts said it bothered him that Shild had come out and began to shout at him.
“I didn’t feel good with Tatis – great player, good guy – to be hit,” Roberts said. “I didn’t feel good about it. And then that (shild) comes out and he yells at me and stares me down that bothered me. Because, to be perfectly honest, it’s the last thing I wanted.”
Roberts also praised Ohtani for rejecting the situation after he was drilled.

“Well, I think he knew it was intentional,” Roberts said. “He wasn’t injured by it and he didn’t want more drama as I respect it a lot.”
Dodgers took three of the four matches in the series and have taken five of the seven games the teams have played this season.
