Guardians' Oscar Mercado: Yankees Fans Must Be 'Held Accountable' After Throwing Cans

An altercation between the Cleveland Guardians outfield and fans in the stands at Yankee Stadium overshadowed the New York Yankees' 5-4 walk-off win Saturday.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Guardians outfielder Oscar Mercado said the fans who were throwing items at the players "need to be held accountable" for their actions.

The situation started when Cleveland's Steven Kwan crashed into the left-field wall trying to make a catch on Isiah Kiner-Falefa's RBI double that tied the game.

Yankees fans appeared to be taunting Kwan as he was being examined by the training staff.
