Betts jumped the wall in foul territory and initially caught Gleyber Torres' pop-up in the first inning, but a fan in the front row wearing a gray Yankees away jersey grabbed Betts' glove with both hands and pulled the ball out. Torres was immediately called out for fan interference.

It was the second time in this World Series that Torres had a hit marred by fan interference. 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 got a double.

The Dodgers, one win away from their second title in five years, took a 2-0 lead on Freddie Freeman's two-run home run in the first off Luis Gil.
