Xander Bogaerts saw a potential go-ahead homer wiped off the board after fan interference in San Diego, a call that helped fuel a 4-3 defeat to San Francisco. Bogaerts’ ball appeared to clear the left-field wall but was overturned after a review determined a fan may have impeded the play. Mike Shildt was ejected for arguing from the dugout as the Padres’ late rally never came together. Heliot Ramos provided context on the play, while Giants manager Bob Melvin backed the overturn. The Giants surged early with three homers off Nestor Cortes to go up 4-0, shaping a tense finish for fantasy managers watching the Padres and their top bat.

The overturned call and Shildt’s ejection amplified the game’s late-inning drama and cast light on how review timelines can swing momentum. Fantasy players should weigh Bogaerts’ steady bat and Ramos’ evolving role against a San Francisco rotation that capitalized on early offense. The result tightens a tight NL West narrative and offers care points for daily fantasy and betting lines, especially when interference-adjacent plays loom in high-leverage moments.

Ramos’s perspective on the interference and Melvin’s stance highlight how perception of a play can shift the scoreboard and manager moves. For fantasy purposes, Bogaerts remains a primary middle-infield option, Ramos adds opportunistic upside for Giants nights, and Cortes’s spot starts or divisional matchups become more situational as the Padres navigate this setback.
