Mariners outfielder Julio Rodríguez leaves game against Orioles with hamstring spasm

SEATTLE (AP) — Seattle Mariners outfielder Julio Rodríguez left Wednesday night’s game against the Baltimore Orioles with a hamstring injury after striking out to end the sixth inning.

The three-time All-Star spoke to a team athletic trainer before exiting the dugout.

Mariners manager Dan Wilson told reporters after his team’s 5-3 loss that Rodríguez had a spasm in his hamstring.

Rodríguez was 1 for 3 with a double, giving him 125 doubles to go along with 125 homers and 125 stolen bases in his career.

He reached those totals in 665 major league games, making the 25-year-old Rodríguez the third-fastest player to do it.

Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. was the fastest at 591 games and former big leaguer Alfonso Soriano, a seven-time All-Star, pulled off the feat in 643 games, according to Sportradar.
