The Los Angeles Dodgers vs. San Diego Padres NLDS Game 2 has been delayed due to a baseball being thrown near outfielder Jurickson Profar from the stands.
Profar was visibly upset, leading to a discussion between Padres players, manager Mike Shildt, umpires, and security. The situation escalated as fans continued to throw items onto the field, resulting in a significant delay.

The Dodgers’ PA announcer repeatedly warned fans of ejection if they persisted in throwing items onto the field. To view the interactions, see the video below:
Dodger Stadium security personnel positioned themselves around the field to prevent fans from storming onto the field. The situation worsened as fans continued to throw objects towards right field, where Fernando Tatis Jr. was stationed.
Following a delay of over 10 minutes after the top of the seventh inning, play resumed between the Dodgers and Padres.
Tensions were high throughout the game, starting in the first inning when Profar prevented Mookie Betts from hitting a home run and then taunted the Dodger Stadium fans in left field.

The game eventually resumed in the bottom of the seventh inning. Hopefully, there are no further delays for the remaining duration of the game.
