A fan interference call on Spencer Steer's potential home run led to a ground-rule double, impacting the Reds' game against the Nationals. The Reds lost 8-7 after the call was upheld upon review.
A Spencer Steer drive to left field looked like it might tie the Cincinnati Reds' game against the Washington Nationals at Great American Ball Park in the 10th inning by skipping over the outfield fence for a home run.
A fan caught the ball at the yellow line atop the fence.
The initial ruling was fan interference, and a ground-rule double for Steer. Steer was forced to remain at second base when the call was upheld after review.
"I mean we'll never know," Reds manager Terry Francona said after the 8-7 loss. "It looked like they probably got it right. … It would've been hard to overturn that, in my opinion. I wish they would have. But it would have been hard."
"It had a chance," Reds.TV analyst Sam LeCure said after the game. "They can't overturn that. They can't just give that a home run. If it goes over the fence, it's a home run. If it hits the yellow line and comes back in the field of play, it's in play. That's what it is. It's really hard to tell from all the camera work … which way it was going to go. Because you don't know how it's gonna carom off of that yellow line. We're never going to know that. … That's unfortunate. That feels like another little snakebite."

KICK THAT “FAN” OUT IMMEDIATELY…
Sure would have been nice to let that play out…
What a joke. Even our “fans” are getting in the way at GABP!

Here’s the thing, people are going to talk about the fan interference. I don’t give a damn about it. Two innings with leadoff doubles late we can’t score them.
