BOSTON — One day after a career performance with four hits and five RBI, Orioles third baseman Jordan Westburg left Monday night’s 6-3 win over the Red Sox in the top of the first inning with a sore right ankle.
Orioles manager Tony Mansolino described Westburg’s injury as “probably mild” but added that the team will “wait to see how he wakes up in the morning, and we’ll probably have a better idea.”
Westburg tied his career high with four hits, including a three-run homer, and had a career-best five RBI on Sunday to help the Orioles beat the Houston Astros 12-0. In the top of the first in Boston, he reached on a fielder’s choice and took second on a single before he was lifted for a pinch runner.
Westburg is batting .276 with 15 homers and 34 RBI this season. He also missed all of May with a left hamstring strain before returning on June 10.
