Baltimore was five outs away from being defeated by the Chicago White Sox, but Venezuelan Anthony Santander had other plans and sent it flying with a teammate on board to turn the score around and for the Orioles to end up winning 5-3 and taking the weekend series at Guaranteed Rate Field.

“Agua Blanca” forcefully connected Michael Kopech’s second delivery and deposited it in the right field stands. The hit hit at 103.1mph and traveled 395ft, his ninth hit of the year and second of the series.
Prior to Santander, Ryan O’Hearn had also jumped the fence and later Jordan Westburg did the same to add the fifth line of the orioles. All in the top of the eighth inning.
However, Dillon Tate took the victory (2-0) and the loser was Michael Kopech (1-4), who also had his second wasted save opportunity of the campaign and the rescue for Cionel Pérez; that of him fifth of the harvest.
