Overview

• In the second inning at Petco Park, Xander Bogaerts’ apparent homer that grazed Heliot Ramos’ glove was overturned on replay for spectator interference, resulting in an out.
• Mike Shildt was ejected after arguing that no clear evidence showed a fan impeded the play and later challenged MLB to produce a definitive camera angle.
• Shildt criticized the nearly three-minute review, asserting that a conclusive decision should not require that much time if the evidence is clear.
• MLB Rule 6.01(e) allows an out if a spectator reaches into the field of play and plainly prevents a catch, even without the fan touching the ball.
• Ramos said a fan’s arm reached over and the ball clipped a finger before his glove, a view backed by manager Bob Melvin, while Petco Park fans booed during the 4-3 Padres loss and San Diego looked to end a four-game skid in the next game.
