Game 1 of the World Series was temporarily brought to a halt Tuesday night after an unknown "technical glitch" knocked Fox's broadcast off the air.
A Fox announcer said on-air the "broadcast issue" occurred after a transmission truck unexpectedly lost power at the stadium.
The glitch lasted about 7 minutes, with the Associated Press reporting it started at USA at 9:19 p.m. and the game resuming at 9:26 p.m. ET.
For a few moments in the fourth inning, viewers at home were unable to watch The New York Mets and Kansas City Royals and Fox was forced to broadcast Major League Baseball's international feed. The Fox broadcast did not start again until 10:02 p.m.
According to reports, the game had to be stopped because officials would not have been able to review plays, but teams eventually agreed to continue without the use of instant replay.
In 2014, video review practices were expanded and teams now have rooms at ballparks where employees can monitor several feeds, and relay information to players in the dugout that allow them to know when to challenge umpires call.
