Yankees want net protection for fans

A young girl at Yankee Stadium was injured by a foul ball off the bat of Todd Frazier during Wednesday’s game against Minnesota, leading some New York players to call for protective netting to be extended. The Yankees said the girl was taken to a hospital for treatment and New York manager Joe Girardi said he had been told by security that she was OK. The game was delayed for about four minutes while she was attended to and then carried from the seats in the bottom of the fifth inning.
