BALTIMORE (AP) — Orioles outfielder Cedric Mullins left Saturday night’s game against Miami in the second inning with right quadriceps tightness.

Mullins, who missed most of June with a right groin strain, appeared to hurt himself while running the bases. After he hit an RBI single, Jordan Westburg lifted a fly to deep right field, but it was just foul. Instead of returning to first, Mullins remained at third while base coach Tony Mansolino signaled to the dugout that something was amiss.

Mullins was then replaced by a pinch runner.

Ramón Urías drove in the automatic runner for Baltimore with a first-pitch double off Minnesota closer Jhoan Duran in the 10th inning as the Orioles outlasted the Twins 3-1.
