The Dodgers had plenty to cheer about in their 9-0 win over the Rockies on Wednesday night, but the loudest reaction inside Dodger Stadium didn’t come from a home run or strikeout. It came in the seventh inning, when a young fan sprinted onto the field and tried to test his speed against stadium security.
Dodgers and Rockies spectators watched as the fan made a few strides before three guards closed in. He sprinted past one guard, evaded another, but the third tackled him. Within seconds, three or four more guards joined in, pinning him to the grass and putting handcuffs on as boos echoed across the stands. Notably, this is not the first time MLB has witnessed a pitch invasion this season.

In April, a fan stormed the field during a Mets game, prompting security to execute an aggressive takedown, sparking boos from the crowd. Last month, a young kid got brutally tackled on the field during the Padres vs Giants game.

Away from the fan drama, the Dodgers put on one of their best performances in recent times. Blake Snell struck out a season-high 11 batters across six scoreless innings, while Mookie Betts put on a show offensively, going 4-for-5 with five RBIs, including a grand slam. The Boys in Blue piled up 14 hits overall, never giving the Rockies a chance to climb back.
The victory pushed Los Angeles to 82-64, giving them a three-game cushion over the Padres in the NL West with just 16 left to play. The Dodgers will face the Giants for a three-game series starting on Sunday, September 12.
Manager Dave Roberts is trying to help the team win as much as possible. The Padres are not far behind for the title, and the Dodgers have a series of challenging games ahead.
