Manny Machado and Jurickson Profar provide dramatic homers as Padres clinch series
San Diego Padres left fielder Jurickson Profar smiles after hitting a grand slam against Washington Nationals during the sixth inning at Petco Park on Tuesday, June 25, 2024 in San Diego, CA. In a back-and-forth game that began with apparent beef over the way Profar celebrated a walk-off the night before, the Padres’ left fielder provided the last laugh on Tuesday, a grand slam to punctuate a 9-7 win over the Washington Nationals.
There was the Nationals’ starting catcher having words with Profar about the way he celebrated in front of their dugout a night earlier.
No punches were thrown. There didn’t even appear to be a lot of pushing or shoving or even shouting during the first get-together or even after Ruiz and Profar had to be separated a second time, even after both appeared to signal to umpires that all was good.Yet somehow the ensuing, 98 mph fastball that struck Profar in the shin was not enough to get former Padres top prospect MacKenzie Gore ejected, and that got Padres manager Mike Shildt heated enough to get tossed.
Machado pounded both of his shoulders as he looked into the Padres’ dugout as he began his jog around the bases. As Profar rounded third base, he gestured toward the crowd behind home to get loud, much like he did toward the crowd near the Nationals’ dugout after his walk-off hit on Monday. At the plate, Profar mimicked brushing dirt off Machado’s shoulders as almost the entire team spilled out of dugout to greet their third baseman.
