Fan snatches foul ball out of Mike Trout’s glove — then meets him
First base umpire Alan Porter ruled it a foul ball and not a catch. Angels manager Ron Washington came out to discuss the play with the umpires, but the ruling stood and was not reviewed by replay.
The fan was escorted out of the section by security.
Diaz ended up flying out to center to end the inning.
The play was reminiscent of Game 4 of last year’s World Series when two fans pried a foul ball out of the glove of Dodgers’ Mookie Betts at Yankee Stadium. However, umpires ruled that w
as fan interference and a catch by Betts.
Following the game, Trout met up with the fan and the fan’s son to clarify there were no hard feelings. It was a heartfelt moment between the Angels’ outfielder and fans of their rival.
