Kelly leaves game with right shoulder fatigue

BALTIMORE -- Joe Kelly's eight-start winning streak came to an abrupt end on Tuesday night at Camden Yards, as the righty walked off the mound with right shoulder tightness and fatigue in the bottom of the third.

After keeping the Orioles off the board the first two innings, Kelly's stuff clearly looked diminished in the third, as he gave up four runs.

J.J. Hardy led off the inning with a single and Steve Pearce followed by crushing a two-run homer to left.

Kelly faced four more batters -- three of which reached on singles -- before being removed from the game with one out in the third.
