In his 22nd major league game, Coby Mayo recorded his first RBI for the Baltimore Orioles, contributing to a 4-2 victory over the Chicago White Sox. However, after hitting a single, Mayo found himself in a rundown and collided with White Sox second baseman Lenyn Sosa, leading to a brief on-field altercation. Sosa expressed his displeasure with Mayo's actions, while Mayo claimed he intended no malice. Both teams returned to order quickly, with managers downplaying the incident as a minor scuffle that arose from competitive play.
"Obviously, I was just trying to get to second base. I was trying to get into scoring position for Heston and (Chicago) cuts it off and I got into a rundown."
"I think he tried to make a dirty play and after that, I just went to him and tried to ask him, 'Why did you do that?'"
"I don't think it was that big a deal. Probably just Mayo trying to make a play and get an interference call."
