Game 2 of the National League Division Series was temporarily suspended Sunday night after fans appeared to hurl objects from the stands at players on the field Padres 10-2 win over the Dodgers.

It happened in the bottom of the seventh inning, when the Dodgers came to bat with what was expected to be a three-run deficit.

At first, San Diego Padres left fielder Jurickson Profar appeared to be talking to some fans in the stands when a baseball flew toward him and landed in the outfield grass. He immediately ran after the ball and shouted at the referee team.

Shortly thereafter, more items began to make their way from the crowd onto the field near right fielder Fernando Tatis Jr., who had been taunted by Dodger supporters since his first appearance in the major leagues.

The game was halted for nearly 15 minutes as Dodger Stadium security swarmed the outfield and lined the warning track while all players were removed from the diamond.

It is unclear whether the fans who threw the objects were identified and whether they were punished for their actions.

Early in the game, Tatis Jr. smashed the second pitch he saw from Flaherty into right field, starting his scoring run. In the bottom half of the inning, Profar made an unlikely catch and robbed Mookie Betts of a home run that would have tied the game 1-1.
