Mo is a 13-year-old Orioles superfan who is fighting cancer for the fourth time. He lost his eyesight as an infant.

Mancini said in an interview with MLB Network that the first thing he wanted to do when he returned from the team's road trip was visit Mo.

He hit a solo home run in his first at-bat of the game.
