What Happened

In the bottom of the fourth inning of a 4-0 game, New York Yankees outfielder Joey Gallo steps into the batter's box to face San Diego Padres pitcher Yu Darvish. As Darvish goes through his sign sequence with the runner on second base, Gallo rips a 113 mph line drive foul ball that narrowly misses a fan in the stands, causing the spectators to duck for cover. The at-bat continues with Darvish throwing a curveball that Gallo doesn't swing at, leading to some disagreement between the two players about the pitch location. The next pitch, a fastball, hits the home plate umpire, causing a brief delay as the umpire recovers. Padres manager Bob Melvin checks on the umpire, who indicates he is okay to continue. As the at-bat resumes, Gallo and Darvish engage in a back-and-forth, with Gallo voicing his displeasure about a called strike. Darvish then throws a slider that Gallo fouls off hard into the dugout. The broadcast teams seem to disagree on the exact pitch sequence, with some discrepancies in the number of pitches thrown. In the end, Darvish gets Gallo to strike out swinging on a slider on the outside corner. Gallo argues the call, but the umpire stands by his decision, and the two players exchange some friendly banter, acknowledging the eventful at-bat they just experienced. The sequence featured several notable moments, including a high-velocity foul ball, an umpire getting struck, sign-stealing attempts by the Padres' third baseman Manny Machado, and a back-and-forth between the pitcher and batter. Despite the drama, the umpire and players maintain their composure, and the at-bat concludes with Darvish emerging victorious over Gallo.
