A swarm of bees descended upon the screen behind home plate, halting the start of the Dodgers-Arizona game.
A rematch of last year’s National League Division Series wasn’t the only buzz at Chase Field on Tuesday night. Shortly before first pitch between the Dodgers and Arizona Diamondbacks, a swarm of bees descended upon the top of the protective screen behind home plate, halting the start of the game until a beekeeper could arrive and safely remove the colony. “This is a tough one,” Dodgers manager Dave Roberts told SportsNet LA after meeting with umpires on the field.
Obviously we see the bees. how long will it take a beekeeper to come and take care of the situation.” Roberts said that the teams did briefly consider proceeding with first pitch before the bees were removed. But, he noted, “if a foul ball hits the screen, what happens to the bees at that point?” Apparently, it wasn’t a risk Major League Baseball was willing to take.
