Orioles’ Mountcastle leaves game with left foot pain

BALTIMORE—Orioles designated hitter Ryan Mountcastle left Saturday night’s game in the second inning with left foot pain. Mountcastle stumbled halfway between first and second base and dove into second for a double.

After he was examined by assistant athletic trainer Ben Fraser and manager Craig Albernaz, Mountcastle left the game and was replaced by pinch-runner Dylan Beavers.

Mountcastle was limited to 89 games last season because of a strained right hamstring.

He was hitting .286 (4-for-14) with an RBI in eight games.
