Orioles, White Sox Benches Clear After Basepath Collision in Baltimore

During a Baltimore Orioles vs. Chicago White Sox game, Orioles rookie Coby Mayo drove in his first career RBI but then found himself caught in a rundown between first and second base. In an attempt to draw an interference call, Mayo deliberately collided with White Sox second baseman Lenyn Sosa, who was well outside the baseline, but no obstruction call was made. The play escalated when Mayo shoved Sosa, prompting both teams’ benches and bullpens to clear, resulting in a tense but brief confrontation with no punches thrown or ejections. Orioles interim manager Tony Mansolino defended Mayo's aggressive base running, noting Mayo's inexperience and the learning curve at the major league level. Both teams are struggling this season, which may have contributed to the heightened tensions during the game. Despite the incident, the Orioles won the game 4-2, with Mayo’s RBI contributing to the victory.
