Dave Roberts on the Padres fan that was heckling Shohei Ohtani:
“Very annoying. He was in my right ear the entire game. It was very out of character from Shohei. It was good to see Shohei initiate a high-five. That was fun. It was great to see Shohei show his personality.” pic.twitter.com/o9VaYdkB3E

Freddie Freeman has met the moment.
He hit a game-tying home run in the top of the 6th. He potentially hit the putaway home run in the top of the 7th with this two-run shot.
