NEW YORK – Two fans at Yankee Stadium were ejected from Game 4 of the World Series after one of them knocked a foul ball out of the glove of Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts on Tuesday night. evening.

Betts jumped to the wall in foul territory and initially caught Gleyber Torres’ fly ball in the first inning, but a fan in the front row wearing a gray Yankees jersey grabbed Betts’ glove with both hands and pulled the ball out. Another fan grabbed Betts’ ungloved hand.

Betts reacted angrily and Torres was immediately reported for fan interference.

“When it comes to the person at stake, it doesn’t matter,” Betts said. “We lost. It’s irrelevant. I’m fine. He’s fine. Everything’s fine. We lost the game and that’s what I’m focused on. We have to turn the page and prepare for tomorrow.”

The Dodgers had a two-run lead at the time thanks to Freddie Freeman’s two-run home run, but the Dodgers were unable to complete the sweep and suffered an 11-4 loss to the Yankees.

“I’ve never seen anything like it,” Dodgers rookie pitcher Ben Casparius said. “It’s quite interesting. “It was obviously very early in the game, so I think it set the tone.”

It was the second time Torres had an at-bat affected by fan interference in this World Series. With two outs in the ninth inning of Game 1 at Dodger Stadium, Torres hit a fly ball to left field and a fan reached out and caught the ball. Torres took a double.

Torres later hit a three-run home run to right field for New York’s final runs.
