Upton makes early exit vs. Orioles

Center fielder leaves in fifth with possible shoulder injury

Upton, who had doubled and struck out in his previous two trips to the plate, swung at a 1-1 pitch from O's left-hander Brian Burres, then crumpled to the ground holding his left shoulder. The extent of the injury is not yet known.

Nathan Haynes replaced Upton and finished Upton's at-bat by striking out; according to the rule, the strikeout went down as Upton's.

Upton is hitting .294 with three home runs and 21 RBIs.
