A pair of New York Yankees fans were removed from Game 4 of the World Series after they interfered with a catch in foul territory by Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts.

Replay showed the fans grabbing Betts' glove and attempting to rip the ball from it.

Betts shrugged off questions about the incident postgame, calling it "irrelevant" multiple times.

"When it comes to the first-inning play, it doesn't matter," Betts told reporters. "We lost, it's irrelevant. I'm fine. He's fine. Everything's cool. We lost the game, that's what I'm focused on."

An MLB representative told Brendan Kuty of The Athletic that two fans were removed from Yankee Stadium.

"I just see the ball kind of - I don't want to say (go) up for grabs, if that makes sense," said Darren Capobianco, whose brother, Austin, was one of the individuals escorted out. "And then Mookie was swearing at us. Not good."

The Yankees won Game 4 to extend the World Series.
