An unexpected visitor disrupted Friday night's baseball game between the Red Sox and Yankees when a squirrel ran onto the field during the fourth inning. The squirrel emerged from behind home plate, approached rookie batter Jhostynxon Garcia, and then moved to the pitcher's mound where it attempted to dig while pitcher Max Fried watched. The animal continued its journey toward first base and down the right-field line before eventually leaving.

Similar animal interruptions have occurred at Yankee Stadium before, including previous incidents with squirrels and a memorable cat delay in 2021.
