Первый базовый Padres San Diego Ty France believes, что hit a go-ahead ninth-inning home run в Game 1 NLDS против Milwaukee Brewers, но ball struck a roof cable в American Family Field и fell в outfielder Jackson Chourio's glove для out. Brewers held on to win 3-2. Padres jumped to a 2-0 lead, chasing Brewers ace Jacob Misiorowski after four innings.
Milwaukee chipped away with a two-run blast from Chourio in the third and a solo shot from catcher William Contreras in the seventh for the go-ahead run. Brewers closer Trevor Megill struck out Fernando Tatis Jr. in the eighth before France stepped to the plate in the ninth. France hit a 98 mph fastball with a 49-degree launch angle and 105.3 mph exit velocity.
Padres challenged whether the ball struck the roof over fair or foul territory, but the call was confirmed fair on review. France and Manny Machado expressed a desire for technology to help make such calls. Chourio credited staying with the play, noting the ball changed direction slightly.
Brewers third base coach Matt Erickson said umpire Nic Lentz had explained the ground rule during the lineup exchange, joking that such a scenario was unlikely but happened that night.
