Padres security didn\u2019t treat this youngster like a minor.<\/p>\n

An overzealous San Diego fan learned a hard lesson Tuesday night when security tackled him to the ground at Petco Park after he ran onto the field in the eighth inning of the 5-1 win over the Giants, drawing boos from the crowd.<\/p>\n

The youngster ran in the right field area near Fernando Tatis Jr. when one security guard grabbed him, only for another to spear him from behind right as a third arrived.<\/p>\n

The three officers, clad in red shirts, then fell to the ground with the youngster while the fans booed.<\/p>\n

One on-site video showed another patron actually giving a thumbs down right after the tackle.<\/p>\n

The television broadcast showed Padres reliever Jason Adam, protecting the four-run lead in the eighth, making an \u201couch\u201d face while seemingly watching the fan get tackled.<\/p>\n

A pair of security officers eventually helped the fan \u2014 wearing a short-sleeved Padres shirt and jean shorts \u2014 off the field while holding a hat.<\/p>\n

Another fan made their way<\/a> onto the field in the ninth inning, again running through the outfield before being taken down by a leaping security officer.<\/p>\n

The fans did not voice their displeasure for this tackle like they did the other, although the video posted to Reddit featured a fan saying: \u201c(Looks) like another kid.\u201d<\/p>\n

The MLB.com boxscore indicated this storming of the field happened with two outs in the ninth.<\/p>\n

While the fans may have disapproved of how security handled the first fan, former MLB All-Star Adam Jones condemned the fan\u2019s actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnyone who runs on the field should be fined 10k or harsher. No space for it in baseball,\u201d Jones posted to X early Wednesday morning<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis looks like a kid who shook the hell outta the security. But I\u2019d be fining his parents. Unacceptable and a danger. Yall can say what you want but players don\u2019t know what a fan has<\/p>\n

Amid the fan drama, the Padres\u2019 win Tuesday snapped a four-game losing streak that saw them go from from one game up on the Dodgers in the NL West to two games back entering Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

San Diego hosts the Giants for two more games before welcoming Los Angeles for another critical three-game set Friday through Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Padres own the second wild card spot, two games behind the fourth-seeded Cubs and 2 1\/2 games ahead of the sixth-seeded Mets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Padres security didn\u2019t treat this youngster like a minor.
