Coby Mayo, in his 22nd major league game and newly called up from the minors, made headlines by getting his first RBI in a game against the Chicago White Sox. While rounding first base after his hit, he accidentally created a controversy by colliding with White Sox second baseman Lenyn Sosa, which led to a brief altercation on the field. Both players expressed their perspectives on the incident, with Mayo downplaying the situation, while Sosa perceived Mayo's actions as intentional and questionable.
"I was just trying to get to second base. I thought he was in the baseline and just tried to get some contact... didn't mean for it to escalate."
"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..."
