Story summary

Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Tarik Skubal did not participate in Game 4 of the NLDS against the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday night, but his antics afterward stole the spotlight. During a postgame interview with Dodgers reporter Kirsten Watson, Skubal chugged two beers he was holding, most of which missed and spilled down his chest. Moments later, while interviewing David Vassegh from Dodgers SportsNet LA, Skubal engaged in more playful beer-soaked festivities, including pouring beer on himself and the people around him, with one splash landing directly on Vassegh. Despite the chaos, Skubal joked about the cold sensation running down his back, adding humorous commentary to his teammates involved in the celebration.
