WATCH: Padres lose cool, go after umpires in postgame meltdown

The Chicago Cubs took care of business Thursday night against the San Diego Padres, punching their ticket to the NLDS, where they’ll face the Milwaukee Brewers starting Saturday.

The game ended in controversy after a ninth-inning strikeout of Xander Bogaerts, a call that had the Padres fuming.

Following the final out, several Padres players and coaches stormed toward the umpires near the visiting dugout, shouting and getting in their faces as tempers boiled over.

It’s an ugly scene that Major League Baseball is almost certain to review, and discipline could be coming soon.
