A ninth-inning rally by the Chicago White Sox was cut short after an infield fly resulted in a double play due to a controversial interference call.
The Chicago White Sox were in the midst of an improbable rally after entering the bottom of the ninth down six runs. They had the winning run at the plate with one out.
Then, they hit into an unusual double play.
With runners on first and second and one out, Andrew Benintendi hit a pop-up to Baltimore Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson. The infield fly rule was called, resulting in the second out of the inning.
Umpires then ruled the runner at second, Andrew Vaughn, interfered with Henderson. Vaughn was called out, ending the game and Chicago’s rally.
