Unlike Tatis’ hit by pitch, which came with a runner in scoring position in an inning that saw the Padres score two runs, Ohtani’s plunking occurred amid more suspicious circumstances.

His first pitch was a 97.6-mph fastball that was fouled off by Tatis.

Tati Simonian, spokesperson for the city of Santa Monica, said the city’s financial woes have also been “compounded by unprecedented legal liabilities, potential tariffs and funding uncertainty from shifts in federal government policies.”

Tatis reached base three times Monday, but his OPS is 78 points below his career average.

“We start to see more ground squirrels in Palisades Park every spring,” said Tati Simonian, spokesperson for the city of Santa Monica.
