NEW YORK — Two fans rushed the field at the same time in the bottom of the third inning between the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays in Game 3 of the American League Division Series on Tuesday at Yankee Stadium.
One fan raced into center field before he was tackled by security. The other reached the infield before security closed in on him. Both were taken off the field in handcuffs.

Neither of the men appeared to try to make contact with any of the Yankees players on the field. Relief pitcher Fernando Cruz walked off the mound and toward the third base line as the fan who ran into the infield came near him. Both fans appeared to take off their Yankees jerseys as they ran.
Toronto was ahead 6-3 at the time. In the fourth inning, Yankees right fielder Aaron Judge tied the score with a three-run blast.
It was the second consecutive Yankees postseason interrupted by fans at their stadium. Last year, a Yankees fan pried the ball out of the glove of Los Angeles Dodgers right fielder Mookie Betts, and another held down his wrist in the first inning of Game 4 of the World Series. Those fans were banned from the stadium indefinitely.
