Dalton Rushing Hit by Pitch Amidst Giants-Dodgers Controversy

Dodgers catcher Dalton Rushing has become a focal point of tensions between the Dodgers and Giants. Rushing drew scrutiny for mocking an injury sustained by Giants player Jung Hoo Lee during a broadcast. The friction escalated on Thursday when Logan Webb intentionally hit Rushing in the ribs with a pitch. Dodgers manager Dave Roberts accused Webb of the act, which followed a previous play at the plate on Tuesday, further fueling the rivalry between the two clubs.
