Arizona's Tommy Phan hit a ball to deep left in the seventh inning Friday night that to the edge of the wall. Steer timed it perfectly, leaped and had the ball in his glove for a second. The fan, also wearing a glove, reached in and pulled the ball out, leaving Steer slumped against the wall after he landed.
The umpires initially ruled Pham's shot a home run and fans cheered after seeing the kid's catch.
A video review called him out for fan's interference, leading to boos across Chase Field.
