Jack Flaherty and Manny Machado exchanged heated words during NLDS Game 2

Jack Flaherty and Manny Machado exchanged heated words during NLDS Game 2

Jack Flaherty started Game 2 of the NLDS for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the sixth inning was a bit of a disaster for him.

Flaherty entered the sixth inning trailing 3-1 and immediately struck out Fernando Tatis Jr. with a pitch. Jurickson Profar then brought in two runners with zero outs. Then Manny Machado came onto the scene.

Flaherty struck out Machado, who was the last batter he faced. He was visibly excited, pointed to the dugout and asked Machado to sit down. There may have been some swear words in it.

Either way, relief pitcher Anthony Banda came into the game, gave up a single that led to another run, then got two outs to end the inning with the Padres leading 4-1.

Flaherty gave up five hits and four runs in 5 1/3 innings. He was also seen at the top of the dugout steps, chirping back and forth with Machado, who was back out on the field.

This should be fun to watch as the series progresses.
