Orioles' Davis restrained from manager Hyde in dugout

Orioles first baseman Chris Davis had to be restrained from manager Brandon Hyde in the dugout during the fifth inning of Baltimore's 14-2 loss to the visiting New York Yankees on Wednesday night. The MASN broadcast showed Davis yelling and trying to push through Mark Trumbo, hitting coach Don Long and others as Hyde walked away and toward the tunnel to the locker room. Shortly afterward, Davis was removed for pinch hitter Jace Peterson.

Davis, who had struck out in his only at-bat of the game, was set to bat again, with the Orioles down 6-1, before being pulled. "We had words, and I took him out of the game," Hyde told reporters afterward. "Me and Chris have a good relationship, and these things happen in competitive environments, and it's something that'll pass and we'll get through it, but it's unfortunate that it happened in the dugout."

Hyde declined to get into specifics about the argument or what precipitated the incident. "It was just a disagreement that we had in the dugout," he said. "What was said and what we talked about, I'm not going to get into. We're going to keep it in house, and it's private. It's something that happens sometimes, and frustration boils over a little bit when we're not playing our best baseball the last couple of games.

"Unfortunately, I'm embarrassed it was caught on camera and people had to see it, but sometimes those things happen." Davis, 33, is batting .182 with nine homers, 31 RBIs and 111 strikeouts in 84 games this season.

An All-Star in 2013, he signed a seven-year, $161 million contract before the 2016 season but has batted just .200 in 497 games since, with 717 strikeouts.
