UNDATED (AP) — Manny Machado screamed at All-Star teammate Fernando Tatis (ta-TEES’) Jr. in the dugout during the fifth inning of the Padres’ loss to the Cardinals on Saturday.
Machado shouted and cursed at Tatis, telling him “it’s not about you” and “you go play baseball” after Tatis struck out looking in the fifth. Tatis reacted angrily to the call by plate umpire Phil Cuzzi.
