Summary
A scoreless second inning at Camden Yards turned when Jazz Chisholm Jr. misplayed a routine double-play grounder, loading the bases and immediately pointing at second-base umpire Ryan Additon.
Replay showed Additon in proper position, undercutting Chisholm's complaint after Christian Franklin's grounder skipped off the Yankees infielder's glove.
Carlos Rodon limited the damage by striking out Carlos Narvaez and Jackson Holliday with the bases loaded, helping New York hold on for a 3-1 victory over Baltimore.
The flare-up came amid a rough 2026 season for Chisholm, who entered Tuesday batting .216 and had been benched over the weekend.
