The Dodgers had a detour on their trip to Texas on Sunday night, when their flight from San Diego was re-routed to Los Angeles due to a mechanical error. After a delay of a few hours and switching planes, the Dodgers made their way to Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport and landed just after 2 a.m. PT.
Heck of a team win. TX bound. ⚾️✈️. #HappyFlight

Made an unplanned landing in LA. Mechanical issues so we're switching planes. TX will have to wait a wee bit longer. #SafetyFirst ✈️⚾️

You know what's not great...taking off in San Diego and landing in LA when you're supposed to be in route to Dallas.

Awesome watching Castro's walk off winner on a plane scheduled to go from SD to Dallas yet sitting on an LAX Tarmac #BigLeagueTravelFail

Let's try this again. After re-routed flight because of mechanical issues, 2+ hour delay on ground & changing planes, we're TX bound. ⚾️✈️

.@Cindyluellis they actually asked us to fasten our seat belts as we landed! The nerve! So glad our unlimited food/drink transferred planes

#Dodgers PR says plane carrying team landed at LAX en route to Dallas due to mechanical issue, and "it was NOT an emergency landing".
