Overview

• Mayo drove in his first career RBI with a fourth-inning single that scored Ryan O’Hearn and gave Baltimore a 2-0 lead over Chicago.
• During the ensuing rundown between first and second base, Mayo collided with White Sox second baseman Lenyn Sosa while extending his arms outside the baseline.
• Both dugouts and bullpens emptied onto the field but umpires issued no immediate ejections following the altercation.
• Before his breakout hit, the 2020 fourth-round pick had recorded just five hits in 53 at-bats across three brief MLB stints this season.
• Baltimore’s growing reliance on prospects underscores the impact of injuries to key players on the Orioles’ playoff aspirations.
