The good news is, apparently, no one was seriously injured, though I suspect there will be some atypical baseball soreness Wednesday.
Understand this, the Dodgers would not have been happy about Zack Greinke getting hit by a pitch under any circumstances. In their baseball minds, the score had been settled. The Diamondbacks hit Yasiel Puig, and they responded by hitting Miguel Montero. All even.
“It really should have been over at the point,” said Manager Don Mattingly.
But Ian Kennedy then hit Greinke. Pitchers don’t normally hit pitchers in these things. They’re sort of a protected animal. Like a goalie.
