San Diego Padres starting pitcher Ryan Bergert was hit by a line drive off the bat of Washington Nationals left fielder Jacob Young. The play knocked Bergert out of the game and forced the San Diego bullpen into action.

In a vacuum, the Washington Nationals fell in a 4-3 loss to the San Diego Padres because of the sixth inning. They lost because Trevor Williams and Cole Henry walked three straight batters, and because Nathaniel Lowe opted for a force out at first rather than a throw home — a decision Lowe seemed displeased with after the fact — that allowed the go-ahead run to come across and prompted Petco Park to erupt.
