SAN DIEGO (AP) — Rookie Kim Ha-seong hit a tiebreaking, two-run home run with two outs in the eighth — three innings after he replaced injured star shortstop Fernando Tatis Jr. — and the San Diego Padres beat the Reds 7-5.
Kim’s homer off the Western Metal Supply Co. Building in the left field corner sent Petco Park into a frenzy on a wild day that included Tatis getting hurt again and Reds star Joey Votto and manager David Bell getting ejected in a wild scene in the first inning.
Tatis left after apparently hurting his left shoulder diving for Tyler Naquin’s RBI single in the fifth.
Votto and Bell were ejected in the first inning following a heated argument with home plate umpire Ryan Additon after Votto was called out on a checked swing.
A Padres fan sitting in the expensive seats near the Reds dugout also was tossed.
Catcher Webster Rivas appealed after Votto offered at the high, outside pitch from Miguel Diaz, and third base umpire Chris Guccione confirmed that Votto went around.
Votto was unhappy and began arguing, and Bell came out of the dugout and joined the argument.
Bell and two coaches had to keep Votto away from Additon.
