Padres-Marlins game at Petco Park delayed by bees
Denis Poroy/Getty Images Bees settled on a microphone near the Padres dugout in the third inning of Sunday’s game at Petco Park.The Padres’ Sunday afternoon game against the Marlins was delayed 28 minutes when a swarm of bees invaded Petco Park.
The bees arrived as the Padres were batting in the bottom of the third inning as hundreds of bees were first seen above right field.
As a few Marlins players left the field for the visitors’ dugout, the bees then moved toward the infield and most eventually settled on a microphone attached to the side of the netting behind home plate, next to the Padres dugout.
