In Friday's MLB game between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the San Diego Padres, tensions ran high. The Dodgers secured a 10-5 victory, but the game was marked by spirited exchanges between the teams.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, Joe Kelly struck out Fernando Tatis Jr. before shouting "f***ing b****" at him in the heat of the moment.

Kelly has been eager to impress since his return to the LA Dodgers ahead of the trade deadline. Kelly played for the Los Angeles team from 2019 to 2021, winning a World Series title before entering free agency ahead of 2022.

He was signed by the Chicago White Sox but was traded to the Dodgers a few days ago. It is his second stint with them and he has shown plenty of fire in the two games he's played so far.

Friday's victory over the San Diego Padres saw the Los Angeles Dodgers take their record to 63-45 for the season. They are now the second-best team in the National League, with only the Atlanta Braves having a better record than them.

Reliever Kelly has seamlessly integrated into his former team's bullpen. With Kelly's contributions, the Dodgers are poised to be strong contenders in the MLB postseason.
