NEW YORK (AP) — A squirrel ran onto the field during Friday night’s game between the Yankees and the Red Sox and caused a brief delay.
The fast-moving mammal emerged from an area behind the plate in the fourth inning and stopped behind Boston rookie Jhostynxon Garcia’s left foot as the outfielder took a timeout and adjusted his batting gloves. The squirrel stopped for a second on the third-base foul line before heading to the front of the mound, where it briefly tried to dig a hole as Yankee ace Max Fried looked on.
