Fan interference costs Yankees significant home run in ALDS game

During Game 3 of the American League Division Series against the Tampa Bay Rays on October 7, 2026, a fan interference call impacted the New York Yankees' chances of tying the game. Anthony Volpe hit a ball that was initially ruled a home run but was later changed to a double after review, as replay officials determined the fan interfered with the play.

Following this, Spencer Jones was unable to bring Volpe home, leaving the Yankees still chasing the Rays for a key victory.
