Fan-interference decision costs Pham possible HR
Written by I Dig SportsPHOENIX -- Cincinnati Reds left fielder Spencer Steer had the ball in his glove, a home run stolen.
One problem: a young fan stole the ball out of his glove.
Arizona's Tommy Pham hit a ball to deep left in the seventh inning of Friday night's 10-8 win that drove to the edge of the wall. Steer timed it perfectly, leaped and had the ball in his glove for a second. The fan, also wearing a glove, reached in and pulled the ball out, leaving Steer slumped against the wall after he landed.
The umpires initially ruled Pham's shot a home run and fans cheered after seeing the kid's catch.
A video review called him out for fan's interference, leading to boos across Chase Field.
