Padres-Dodgers playoff game spirals into delay as Jurickson Profar target of fan vitriol
It’s safe to say San Diego Padres outfielder Jurickson Profar hasn’t been a fan favorite at Dodger Stadium during Game 2 of the National League Division Series on Sunday night.
Profar was seen yelling toward the fans in the outfield before a ball was thrown in his direction.

The incident delayed the game as Profar had a discussion with the umpire crew and other members of the Padres in a huddle on the field.
Before the team huddled up, Fernando Tatis Jr. had a similar experience in right field with fans throwing objects in his direction.
Security guards were placed at the foul lines as the situation was being evaluated on the field.
Profar already had a situation with the fans earlier in the first inning when he reached into the crowd to deny Mookie Betts of a home run that would’ve tied the game.
