Technology has become heavily relied upon for the Los Angeles Dodgers and essentially all of Major League Baseball, but this year that has presented a bit of a new challenge. Across the sport have been multiple drone delays as games are played in empty ballparks.
That moment arrived at Dodger Stadium in the second inning of the series opener between the Dodgers and Colorado Rockies. Umpires quickly took notice of the drone flying overhead and cleared players off the field for several minutes.
The umpiring crew and Dodger Stadium security gathered in front of the Dodgers’ dugout as they spoke with manager Dave Roberts and watched the drone’s flight path.
