Watching from the dugout, Dodgers stars Shohei Ohtani and Teoscar Hernandez were glued not to the game in front of them but to a fight in the stands Sunday in Los Angeles.
The incident began with two women arguing. At one point, a woman dressed in Dodgers blue is heard telling the man next to her, “Don’t put your hands on my boyfriend.”
Security personnel were present throughout much of the argument. Even before the first shots began to ring out, a guard appeared to eject a woman and a man from Dodger Stadium.
The alleged boyfriend is heard saying “goodbye” to the other woman dressed in white, believing that the argument is over.
The woman in white then pours the last of her drink on the groom’s shirt. The groom responds by spilling his Michelob Ultra on the woman, leading to a chaotic fight.
The mass brawl involved several people before being broken up by stadium security.

Several people are involved in the fight, and the woman in white who instigated the incident is met by two men who throw punches on her behalf.
At least three men on the other side of the argument also threw punches.
The security guard who was already on the scene quickly broke up the fight, restraining the woman in the white dress and the man in the Dodgers cap.
‘Back! Back!’ the security guard shouted.
Seconds later, more security officers arrived to help control the altercation.
From the dugout, Ohtani and Hernandez are focused on the fight, with Hernandez shadowboxing due to the brawling fans.
The Dodgers won the game over the Red Sox 9-6 in Los Angeles, with Ohtani nearly hitting a home run out of the park in the fifth inning.
The Japanese superstar and his National League All-Star teammate were clearly unaffected by the fight, even watching the entire incident unfold from up close.
