During the bottom of the first inning of Game 4 at Yankee Stadium, Yankees second baseman Gleyber Torres hit a deep foul ball to right field. Betts, 32, ran to the wall and leaped to make the catch. A fan interfered though, grabbing the right fielder’s glove and trying to remove the ball. A second fan appeared to grab Betts' wrist. The ball popped out of the glove and into the stands.

The umpires wasted no time calling Torres, 27, out on fan interference. A league official toldThe Athleticthat the fan and the one sitting beside him were ejected from Yankee Stadium.
