Red Sox score first postseason run in 26 2/3 innings on Willson Contreras HR that was oh so close to fan interference at Yankee Stadium

It didn't come without a tinge of controversy, but it appears that umpires got it right.

After a 9-0 loss in Game 1, the Red Sox went into the top of the sixth inning of Game 2 Wednesday facing a 2-0 deficit. With two outs in the frame, Boston first baseman Willson Contreras launched a full-count offering from Max Fried deep to right-center field toward the bleachers.

A fan was waiting there with his glove in the front row and snagged the ball from the air.
