A spectator at PNC Park in Pittsburgh fell from the stands in right center field onto the field of play in the bottom of the seventh inning on Wednesday night as the Pirates hosted the Chicago Cubs.
Play was stopped for several minutes as the fan was attended to by medical personnel. The fan was eventually carted off the field.
Someone just fell over the Clemente wall at PNC Park and had to be carted away. Hoping for the best. Did not look good.

There is a fan lying motionless on the outfield warning track. Didn't see if they fell over the fence. A fan just jumped onto the field, presumably trying to help his friend.
