LOS ANGELES — Major drama occurred in the opening game of the 2024 World Series that may have decided which team won Game 1. As the ball was coming down, a fan reached out over the railing and snagged it in his glove. But Dodgers left fielder Teoscar Hernández flailed his arms in protest, saying the fan interfered with the ball. The controversial play drew comparisons to legendary fan interference call such as Yankees fan Jeffrey Maier at the 1996 ALCS who reached over the stands at Yankee Stadium to aid Derek Jeter’s home run. Game 2 is Saturday night in Los Angeles at 8:08 p.m.

September 23 - Locked in a competitive National League wild-card race, three bad pitches to Aaron Judge doomed the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night. With eight games left, Arizona (81-73) owns a one-game lead over the Chicago Cubs for the second of three wild-card spots. The Diamondbacks' five-game winning streak ended in a 7-1 loss when Judge hit three-run, two-run and solo home runs. "You can't make mistakes to him," Arizona manager Torey Lovullo said of Judge, the first player in Yankees history with multiple three-homer games in a season. Rodon is pitching at home for the first time since getting shelled for seven runs in 3 2/3 innings Sept. 7 against the Detroit Tigers.

After a rainout on Saturday, the Diamondbacks are scheduled to visit the New York Yankees Sunday, but more rain is in the forecast, creating the possibility of rain delays or another postponement. If the Diamondbacks cannot play Sunday, they will play a doubleheader Monday. Unable to stop Judge, the Diamondbacks saw their lead over the Chicago Cubs sliced to one game heading into Saturday's play. If Gallen goes against the Yankees for the first time, he is hoping to give the Diamondbacks some better length. The left-hander is 0-2 with a 5.91 ERA in four career starts against Arizona.
