CHICAGO (AP) — Jorge Mateo hit a go-ahead, three-run homer and the Baltimore Orioles withstood a late Chicago comeback try and beat the White Sox 8-6 Thursday night in a game that ended on an infield fly and an interference call.
Trailing 8-2 entering the bottom of the ninth inning, the White Sox scored four runs and closed within two.
With runners on first and second and one out, Andrew Benintendi hit a popup to Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson. The infield fly rule was called and umpires ruled the runner at second, Andrew Vaughn, interfered with Henderson. Vaughn was called out, ending the game and Chicago’s rally.
Orioles manager Brandon Hyde was among many at the ballpark wondering what happened on the final play.
