As the Orioles seemingly closed in on a rather uneventful win, strange things began happening at Yankee Stadium.
It was the ninth inning, and the Orioles had a 4-2 lead. With Darren O’Day on the mound, the sidearming right-hander was looking to quickly end the game and send his team on Boston for four games.
With two outs and runners on first and second, O’Day was called for a balk by home plate umpire Stu Scheurwater.
An enraged manager Buck Showalter ran out to protest and was quickly ejected.
