In all, 10 total batters were hit in those seven games, including eight in the just-concluded four-game set.

San Diego Padres reliever Robert Suarez was suspended for three games and fined an undisclosed amount Friday for intentionally hitting Shohei Ohtani of the Los Angeles Dodgers with a pitch in the ninth inning Thursday night.

Benches cleared, Shohei Ohtani and Fernando Tatis Jr. were both hit by pitches, and even the two managers got into it during another contentious affair between the Dodgers and Padres.
