On April 13, 2026, Blaze Alexander (26), third baseman for the Baltimore Orioles, played against his former team, the Arizona Diamondbacks, for the first time since being traded. His at-bat was notable for a controversial interference call that allowed him to reach first base after facing pitcher Ryne Nelson. Earlier, Alexander had a long at-bat where he pulled a ball to right field, but it was ruled a foul after Corbin Carroll misjudged it. The Orioles challenged the call, believing Carroll touched the ball in fair territory, but the decision was upheld due to insufficient camera coverage. Following Alexander's at-bat, Gunnar Henderson hit a triple that scored him. Before the game, Alexander was approached by former teammate James McCann, who humorously reminded him to settle an outstanding fantasy football balance. McCann praised Alexander's energetic playing style, stating he brings joy to the game. The Orioles are experiencing a peculiar season, and Alexander's unusual at-bat reflects that trend.
