Baltimore had a 4-0 lead in the second inning with two outs and the bases loaded. Orioles designated hitter Eloy Jimenez, formerly of the White Sox, was at the plate and hit a blooper toward the left field foul line.
Three White Sox players gathered around as the ball came down. Shortstop Jacob Amaya bailed out thinking at least one of his two teammates was going to make the catch. Third baseman Miguel Vargas ran into left fielder Andrew Benintendi and went to the ground.
Nobody caught the ball and a few more runs crossed the plate.
