Davis removed after dugout altercation with Hyde (O's lose 14-2)

The first public blowup of the Orioles 2019 season played out in the dugout tonight after the top of the fifth inning.

A MASN camera caught hitting coach Don Long and injured outfielder Mark Trumbo restraining Chris Davis from going after manager Brandon Hyde.

Jace Peterson pinch-hit for Davis in the bottom of the fifth and grounded out.

Hyde appeared to say something to Davis while headed down the tunnel and Davis bolted after him. Long and Trumbo moved him back and Jonathan Villar also made sure to block his path.

Davis sat back down on the bench and Hyde continued down the tunnel.

What sparked the exchange is unknown. Davis used his glove to scoop the ball to Miguel Castro covering first base to retire Brett Gardner in the fifth. Davis failed to scoop a throw from Villar to start the inning, with the second baseman charged with the error.

Davis struck out in his first at-bat and never got a second one. And another game is unraveling for the Orioles.

The ugliness is just taking on a different look with the dugout flare-up.

The timing is odd with Davis praising Hyde in an article posted this morning on MASNsports.com.

"It's a give-and-take relationship, and I think he's done a great job of handling everything that's been thrown at him," Davis said. "I can't imagine how hard it is to manage in the big leagues, especially when a club is going through a rebuild like this. It's got to be tough. But I think he's handled it extremely well."

Davis is batting .182 with a .589 OPS in 84 games and Hyde will determine later how long it takes before the veteran appears in an 85th. Whether he's facing a team suspension.

The Yankees have blown open the game with a five-run sixth and lead 11-1. DJ LeMahieu and Aaron Judge had RBI singles off Tayler Scott and Gio Urshela cranked a two-run homer.

Urshela hit a two-run homer off Castro in the fifth after Villar's error.

Trey Mancini has accounted for the lone Orioles run with a leadoff homer off James Paxton in the fourth, his team-leading 27th of the season.

A short fly ball hurt John Means tonight before the long one.

Mancini and Stevie Wilkerson couldn't run down Cameron Maybin's popup in right-center field with runners on the corners, one out and the game scoreless in the top of the fourth inning. Urshela trotted home, Gardner was retired and Kyle Higashioka launched a three-run homer to center.

It speaks volumes about the Yankees injuries and resiliency that two of the featured players tonight are Maybin and Higashioka, the latter a career .161/.216/.306 hitter before tonight. He struck out to end the second and hastened Means' exit in the fourth with his second home run this season and fifth in 48 games spread over parts of the last three seasons.

He was appearing in his 10th of the season. Means will remember him.

Mike Tauchman walked and Means was removed at 80 pitches in 3 2/3 innings. He was on a shorter leash after coming off the injured list. Hyde wanted a little more length.

The Orioles' record-streak of allowing multiple home runs stretched to 12 games. They also became the first team in history to allow 49 home runs to an opponent in the same season.

The staff has surrendered 232. Forty-one of the 50 by the Yankees have come in Baltimore, where humidity couldn't be blamed tonight.

Means, who has a 7.11 ERA in four starts since the break, struck out five of the first seven batters and had the Yankees chasing. The changeup accounted for two of the three strikeouts in the second inning, his slider getting the other. Gardner's double didn't hurt him.

Ten of the first 11 Yankees were retired before Urshela doubled with one out in the fourth. Didi Gregorius singled to put runners on the corners and Maybin lifted his shallow fly ball.

Wilkerson appeared in the best position to make the catch and hold the runners, but he pulled up and Mancini's sliding attempted failed. The run scored and the Yankees were rolling again.

It will be a topic at some point later tonight in Hyde's media presser, but not until he's grilled about the heated exchange with Davis and any repercussions.
