Try it free Traveling to Dodger Stadium proved hazardous for this one Yankees fan's health Friday night. Ricardo Aquino of Mexico City alleges a piece of concrete fell from Dodger Stadium and struck him in the back during the Yankees' 8-5 loss to the Dodgers in a World Series rematch, The Athletic reported. Aquino held a sizable piece of debris that allegedly fell from the top tier at the old stadium in a photo posted by the outlet, and a friend told the publication he was in pain. He reportedly received medical attention. 'He's in some pain, but all it was, was the hit. He's not bleeding, but he's in some pain,' Alvaro Baeza told The Athletic while translating an interview with Aquino. Security guards and one police officer reportedly visited with Aquino after he was allegedly hit in the third inning while sitting in Section 10 reserve on the first base side of the field. 3 Dodger Stadium Getty Images He trekked back to his seat with an ice pack after being attended to, per the report. Multiple fans corroborated Aquino's account. 'Me personally, to see some rocks fall like that,' Lewis Loy of Wilmington, Calif., who was sitting behind Aquino, told the outlet, 'I would be clearing out this whole area. How do you know it's not going to fall anymore? … It could have hit a kid.' Added Jessica Coria of Los Angeles, who sat in front of Aquino: 'I thought someone had thrown something and then I was like, 'We should get security,' and then (Aquino) showed us the rock, and it was clearly from the stadium that fell on him.' 3 Dodger Stadium as seen in 2024. Getty Images The Dodgers could not offer much on the situation as of early Saturday morning. 'We are aware of the report,' the Dodgers told the publication. 'We cannot say anything more until we have all of the information, which we are currently gathering.'

Only Fenway Park and Wrigley Field have been around longer. The Dodgers rallied from a 5-2 deficit against Max Fried to hand the lefty his first loss as a Yankee on Friday night, scoring four runs in the sixth to take a 6-5 lead before tacking on two more in the seventh.

Injury-riddled Dodgers facing a much different Yankees test this time around
Access the Yankees beat like never before Don't miss Greg Joyce's text messages from The Bronx and beyond — he's giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Yankees. Sign Up Now LOS ANGELES — When last we saw these two marquee, mega-market teams match up, a talented but depleted Dodgers team authored a 4-1 World Series beatdown best recalled for L.A. ingenuity, a hobbled Freddie Freeman's home run heroics and, of course, all those Yankee faux pas predicted in a prescient, pre-Series Dodgers scouting report. Now, seven months later, the Yankees, having shored up defensive deficiencies, ride another hot streak — they've won nine of 10 — into baseball's most beautiful venue. And the champion Dodgers enter even more talented (on paper) but much more depleted and a lot less self-assured for the rematch. Advertisement Looking at the upcoming schedule facing his Dodgers, aptly nicknamed Dodgers manager Dave 'Doc' Roberts, who seems to run an infirmary as much as the sport's starriest clubhouse, admitted they need to lower near-term expectations. They felt a lot better last October facing the two New York teams than they do starting Friday. 'I'm just thinking about holding serve,' Roberts told The Post a few days before the Yankees and Mets were due to visit. 'With the teams we play, if we can just hold serve, come July and beyond, when we get to full health, we can take off from there.'

How the Yankees' Mark Leiter Jr. — and his father — tapped into ‘crisper' stuff
Access the Yankees beat like never before Don't miss Greg Joyce's text messages from The Bronx and beyond — he's giving Sports+ subscribers the inside buzz on the Yankees. Sign Up Now LOS ANGELES — The last time the Yankees were at Dodger Stadium, Mark Leiter Jr. had just recently been added to their playoff roster. He was left off the ALDS and initial ALCS rosters because of his struggles down the stretch before being an injury replacement for Ian Hamilton against the Guardians in the ALCS. Leiter suddenly emerged as an unexpected and important weapon out of the bullpen during the Yankees' Game 4 and 5 wins in Cleveland, then made four scoreless appearances in the World Series in which he inherited a combined five runners and stranded them all. Turns out it was just a preview of things to come this season.
