Craig Counsell, manager of the Chicago Cubs, expressed frustration after MLB did not review a play in which Orioles shortstop Gunnar Henderson appeared to block second base during Nico Hoerner’s stolen base attempt in the ninth inning of their 3-2 loss. Counsell argued that Henderson’s foot was in Hoerner’s sliding path, forcing him to come off the bag before being tagged out. Despite the challenge, umpires focused solely on the tag, ignoring the blocking violation. The Cubs failed to secure a win, ending the series against Baltimore without a sweep.
