ATLANTA -- Chase d'Arnaud was caught off-guard when he received light-hearted messages from friends and some female fans who had seen him seemingly peck a male fan on the neck or cheek as he pursued a foul ball during Thursday night's 7-5 loss to the Phillies at Turner Field.
Initially, d'Arnaud simply remembered the play in the fourth inning as one during which a male fan reached into foul territory along the left-field line and caught a fly ball hit by Cody Asche, who was incensed when he was ruled out because of fan interference.
