The Los Angeles Dodgers and San Diego Padres game had a rather contentious moment as one fan decided to try and interfere with the play on the field.
As Dodgers outfielder Cody Bellinger gathered a routine fly out to deep right field during the bottom of the 6th inning, one unruly Padres fan decided to chuck a beer can towards the field.

It's a good thing that the fan didn't have the pinpoint accuracy of a prime Clayton Kershaw. Had he been able to locate his toss better, he might have come dangerously close to hitting the Dodgers star with a hard projectile.

Perhaps the disrespectful incident lit a fire in the Dodgers as they went on to score three more runs in the ensuing inning afterwards. LA was able to load the bases with zero outs, managing to drive in each baserunner to pad their lead in what ended up as a 6-1 win.
The victory marked the 10th straight win the Dodgers have had over the Padres, which may be why some fans were rather upset to see their home side losing another one to their division rivals. Still, your good, old-fashioned boos are more than enough. No need to chuck beer cans on the field and get banned for life.
