MLB Fans Rip Dodgers Spectator for Interfering on Potential HR By Yankees' Torres

A Los Angeles Dodgers fan interfered with a possible go-ahead home run by New York Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres on Friday night.

With two out in the top of the ninth inning during Game 1 of the World Series, Torres hit a ball deep to left field that was heading towards the wall. However, a spectator reached out and caught the ball before it could have potentially exited the field.

Torres was awarded with a double due to fan interference, but the Yankees weren't able to score before the end of the inning.

Umpires gathered following the call, which was confirmed after a replay review.

The league's rulebook states that when a batted or thrown ball is interfered with, the ball shall be declared dead and the baserunners can be placed where the umpire determines they would have been without the interference.

The Dodgers couldn't get on the board in the bottom of the ninth, sending the game to extra innings before Freddie Freeman launched a walk-off grand slam in the ensuing frame.

The scenario involving Torres was similar to another Yankees postseason moment, as 12-year-old Jeffrey Maier reached over the wall at Yankee Stadium and pulled in a game-tying home run for Derek Jeter in Game 1 of the 1996 American League Championship Series.

New York won the series and advanced to the Fall Classic before securing the team's 23rd World Series title.

This time, the Yankees were on the opposite end of a questionable fan interference situation.

Torres went 2-for-5 in Game 1, with New York's lineup finishing with 10 hits. However, the Yankees finished 1-for-8 with runners in scoring position and stranded 11 players on the bases.

New York will attempt to bounce back in Game 2 on Saturday.
