Padres roast Dodgers on social media after contentious weekend series

After the game, Dodgers catcher Will Smith disputed the notion that they were intentionally throwing at Profar, calling him “irrelevant.”

That comment came back to bite Smith in Sunday’s rubber match. It was Profar who was the hero in that contest as he smacked a massive bases-clearing double off the wall in the seventh inning to break a 3-3 tie. Neither team would score again as the Padres went on to win 6-3.

The Padres used their opportunity to get petty with it and posted the highlight to X with the caption, “That’s a pretty relevant swing.”

With the weekend series victory, the Padres have now won three of five games against the Dodgers this season and sit just two games behind them in the NL West standings. Though the two teams obviously have a whole lot of history, Smith probably should have waited until the series was over before taking his swipes.
