Fernando Tatis Jr. drops 2-word reaction after comeback win over Yankees in rain

Fernando Tatis Jr. and the San Diego Padres won their series opener against the New York Yankees on Monday. The NL West team came from behind to take the game 4-3.

The Padres trailed 3-0 in the rain-affected game at Yankee Stadium after seven innings. However, a four-run rally in the seventh inning compounded the Yankees' bullpen woes this season.

Fernando Tatis Jr. reacted to the Padres' comeback win in a social media post. The All-Star outfielder dropped two words in his Instagram story with a picture of himself soaked in rain during the game.

"Blessings raining," Tatis Jr. captioned his Instagram story.

Incidentally, the Padres scored four runs after Tatis was ejected following an exchange with the plate umpire Adrian Johnson in the eighth inning.

Padres manager Mike Shildt, who was barking at the plate umpire even before Tatis' ejection, confronted him, leading to his ejection.

Fernando Tatis Jr. was tossed from the game after he expressed his displeasure with the plate umpire's strike calls. However, the superstar slugger said he forgot what he told the umpire.

“I forgot,” Tatis said. “...I’m just happy I got the boys hyped.”

Following the win, Tatis talked about the team's mentality and how Mike Shildt embodied their fighting spirit by standing up for his player.

"You can see what kind of team we are, man," Tatis said, per Cassavell. "Everyone has each other's back over here."

Padres first baseman Luis Arraez, who drove in a run for the team in the eighth inning, also gave a shoutout to the veteran Padres manager after his ejection on Monday.

"I love Mike Shildt," said Luis Arraez. "He supports his players. When I saw that thing, I said: 'We'll come back.'"

It was the sixth consecutive win for San Diego and Tatis' first career ejection has the Padres amped for the crucial second game of the series on Tuesday night in the Bronx.
