The Dodgers star leaped at the wall in foul territory and initially caught Gleyber Torres’ pop up in the first inning, but a fan in the first row with a grey Yankees’ road jersey grabbed Betts’ glove with both hands and pulled the ball out.
A fan seated next to the one called for interference tried prying the ball out of Betts’ glove, with a grin on his face.

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 over and caught the ball. Torres was awarded a double.
The Dodgers, who are one win away from their second title in five years, held a 2-0 lead on Freddie Freeman’s two-run homer in the top of the first off Luis Gil.
