Despite the fact that there was a full count at the time, Quentin obviously felt Greinke’s pitch was intentional after a Jason Marquis 0-2 pitch was thrown towards Matt Kemp‘s head earlier in the contest. Kemp spent a great deal of time jawing with the Padres with both teams on the field and had to be restrained by Josh Beckett and manager Don Mattingly.

After the parties returned to the dugouts initially  the Dodgers’ Jerry Hairston Jr. sprinted back out towards the Padres dugout, stirring things back up.

Unclear is whether Greinke was hurt in the original melee. He tried to shield his right arm as Quentin barreled into him, and they tusseled as their teammate came out to assist. He exited afterwards, though he didn’t appear to be ejected.

Kemp was among the players ejected. Quentin was, too, and he’ll face a five- or six-game suspension if history is any indication.
