Gleyber Torres' hit called a double after fan interfered and reached over stands to make the catch
Major drama occurred in the opening game of the 2024 World Series that may have decided which team won Game 1.
LOS ANGELES — Major drama occurred in the opening game of the 2024 World Series that may have decided which team won Game 1.
With the score tied 2-2 in the top of the ninth inning between the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers, New York second baseman Gleyber Torres drilled a line drive ball 383 feet to left field.
As the ball was coming down, a fan reached out over the railing and snagged it in his glove. For a moment, it appeared as a home run to put the Yankees ahead 3-2.
But Dodgers left fielder Teoscar Hernández flailed his arms in protest, saying the fan interfered with the ball. After MLB officials reviewed the play, Torres was sent back to second base with two outs.
After an intentional walk of Yankees star Juan Soto, Dodgers pitcher Blake Treinen got Aaron Judge to pop out and end the inning.
Rating: 5
