Bregman...who has removed the face guard from his helmet, and is wearing his pants low again...flies out F7 on a diving catch by Grossman into foul territory

As long as that's the only hit batsman it's done.

But if another guy or 2 is hit, even if unintentional, it generally will lead to a FB to the glute.
