Alex Wood and Padres utility man Jose Pirela exchanged words in the first inning. The umpires issued a warning between innings. Roberts then yelled at Green, and the benches cleared. The MLB suspended Roberts due to his shoving Green.
The statement regarding Dave Roberts yelling at Green starting the confrontation doesn’t match up with what the video shows. On the video both managers are being instructed by the umpiring crew and just as they finished, Green started talking very aggressively to Roberts and that is when Roberts went after him.
