WATCH: 2 Yankees fans escorted out after trying to grab ball from Mookie Betts during Game 4 of World Series

New York Yankees fans are acting up with their team down 2-0 already against the LA Dodgers in Game 4 of the World Series on Tuesday night. Freddie Freeman's two-run homer (his fourth straight this World Series) in the first inning off Luis Gil silenced the Yankees crowd early on. Remember, the Yankees are trailing 3-0 in the World Series, and their title hopes are already thin.

In the bottom half of the first Gleyber Torres hit the ball sky high, which went near the foul zone deep in right field where Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts was stationed. He caught the ball, but two Yankees fans seated there interfered with the play.

One grabbed Betts' glove (in his left hand) and ripped the ball out, while the other took hold of Betts' right wrist. The umpires ruled fan interference, calling Torres out.

Soon after, the two fans in Yankees jerseys were escorted out of Yankee Stadium.

Here's the video.

The New York Yankees entered Tuesday's Game 4 with the risk of losing the World Series to the Dodgers.

They lost 6-3 in Game 1, thanks to a walk-off grand slam by Freddie Freeman in the 10th inning, and lost the next two games 4-2, with Freeman contributing home runs in each game as well to trail in the best-of-seven series 3-0.

Freeman continued his home run-hitting spree by taking Yankees starter Luis Gil yard with a two-run home run that gave the Dodgers a 2-0 lead in the first inning, just like Game 3.

In the process, he broke George Springer's record by hitting a home run in six straight World Series games. Four of those home runs came in this series, while the first two date to the 2021 World Series, where he represented the Atlanta Braves.
