The Yankees and Twins stopped their game briefly in the bottom of the fifth inning after a child was apparently hit by a foul ball Todd Frazier hit into the stands.
Major League Baseball mandated that netting it be extended to at least each dugout before the 2016 season. During the 2015 season, a fan at Fenway Park was hit with and seriously injured by a broken bat.
At the time, the Yankees declined to extend their netting to the foul poles. This July, the Yankees were said to be “seriously exploring” a plan to extend the netting after a fan was hit in the head by a foul ball hit by Aaron Judge in July

Frazier immediately dropped down to a squat after seeing where the ball went, and players from both teams stopped to watch as the kid was carried in a man’s arms out of the seating area. Neither the YES Network broadcast nor the Fox Sports North broadcast showed the ball going into the stands, but did show a lot of distressed ballplayers.
