Orioles' rookie Luis Ortiz leaves first major league start with apparent injury

Orioles rookie right-hander Luis Ortiz, making his first career major league start on Friday at Camden Yards, left without finishing the second inning after suffering an apparent injury.

Ortiz, 22, had allowed a run on two hits in the first inning before a second inning that was complicated by the Orioles’ spotty infield defense. With one out, White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson hit a chopper down the third base line that Renato Núñez couldn't secure and transfer for the throw, resulting in an error. Anderson scored on a triple by Nicky Delmonico, and with two outs, Delmonico scored on a chopper to first baseman Chris Davis.
