The man had fallen over a cordon behind the area where the Red Sox pitchers were warming up in the first inning. As reported by the Phillies and the media, he tried to grab a ball there.
The spectator was taken to the hospital but was said to be conscious and responsive when he left the stadium. It was not immediately known what injuries he sustained in the fall. The game, which the Red Sox won 5-3 in the end, was interrupted for ten minutes.
Meanwhile, Max Kepler, the only German player in MLB, hit his fourth home run of the season. His team, the Minnesota Twins, won 2-0 at the Cleveland Guardians and lead the American League’s Central Division. Kepler, 30, is in his ninth season in MLB and the Twins. He has now hit 133 home runs in 859 games.
