After falling during the seventh inning, the man was treated at the scene then taken to an area hospital, the Braves announced on Twitter. However, he later died from his injuries.
The Atlanta Police confirmed the man's death to BuzzFeed News, but said his name had not been released while authorities worked to notify his family. Sgt. Greg Lyons said the man was in his early 60s.
Lyons said investigators at the scene found no indication that foul play was involved.
"It seems to be a tragic accident," Lyons added.
ESPN reported that witnesses saw the man lose his balance while yelling at Alex Rodriguez of the Yankees. The man reportedly then fell about 50 feet onto a lower level.
