After the San Diego Padres staged a crazy comeback in extra innings to defeat the Washington Nationals, outfielder Jesse Winker went into the stands to have it out with an opposing fan.
Clinging to a 6-5 lead with two outs in the bottom of the 10th, the Nationals intentionally walked first baseman Luis Arraez to load the bases. That brought left fielder Jurickson Profar to the plate, and reliever Hunter Harvey immediately got ahead in the count 0-2.A few pitches later, Profar singled to right, scoring two runs and handing the Padres a walk-off victory.
Winker eventually made his way into the stands to have it out with a Padres fan, who accused the Nationals of being "cheap" and "bush league" by supposedly throwing at Profar. It is difficult to hear Winker's response in the videos captured of the altercation, but the fan followed that up by saying "I'm 66, what are you, 26?"
Jesse Winker getting into it with a Padres fan who was losing his mind at the Nats for “throwing at Profar” Profar said after the game that he felt disrespected by the Nationals intentionally walking Arraez to get to him, sparking his celebratory trash talk. Of course, there were already runners on second and third, so giving Arraez a free pass was more about setting up force outs than it was insulting Profar.
