Ty France of the San Diego Padres nearly secured a victory against the Milwaukee Brewers in the ninth inning of Game 1 of their National League Division Series on October 4, 2026. France hit a pitch that struck the roof at American Family Field, resulting in a catch by outfielder Jackson Chourio, thus denying the Padres a critical two-run home run that would have changed the game. A challenge by Padres manager Craig Stammen was unsuccessful, as the umpires ruled it a fair ball. Statcast analysis indicated that the ball's steep launch angle and exit velocity meant it would have only been a home run in certain MLB parks. The Padres trailed 3-2 at the time of the play.
