The incident occurred in the bottom of the seventh inning during a matchup between the host Pirates and the Chicago Cubs.
The fan, an adult man, landed on the right field warning track after the fall.
Both teams’ players and coaches reacted swiftly, and the game was halted in response to the alarming situation.

Play was resumed after the incident and the Pirates won the game 4-3.
