Westburg left the game after rounding second base in the first inning. The Orioles used the phrase “right-ankle discomfort” when describing Westburg’s injury. Mansolino said the Orioles would wait to see how Westburg felt in the morning.

Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg has left Monday night’s game against the Red Sox with a sore right ankle

Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg was hit with another injury Monday when he left the game in the first inning of their game in Boston.

There was a sense of déjà vu as Rogers befuddled the Boston bats; the Orioles southpaw made his season debut against the Red Sox on May 24, a scoreless gem in which he yielded only two hits over 6.1 innings en route to a 2-1 O’s victory.

The loss — the Red Sox' second straight — dropped them to 2-2 on their homestand, in need of a victory on Tuesday to claim a winning record in this stretch at Fenway before heading to Yankee Stadium for the weekend.

Samuel Basallo is a catcher by trade, but he can also play first base and his bat is more than good enough to land him at designated hitter.
