Baltimore Orioles rookie Coby Mayo's first MLB RBI was far from routine. In his 22nd game, he scored Ryan O'Hearn with an RBI single in the fourth inning but found himself caught in a rundown as he attempted to advance to second base. The play escalated when Mayo shoved White Sox Lenyn Sosa, leading to a benches-clearing incident. Afterward, Mayo explained his actions, stating that he was trying to draw an interference call, a strategy that didn't pan out. His manager Tony Mansolino highlighted the rookie's instinct to seek contact, which ultimately backfired.

Despite the drama, Mayo remains a top-100 prospect and is celebrated for his potential power, yet he struggles offensively, with a .094 batting average. He has yet to record his first extra-base hit in the majors but has opportunities ahead in the Orioles' young lineup.
