Tejada ‘fine’ after straining leg muscle

Baltimore Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada left Thursday’s game against Boston because of a strained lower right leg muscle.

“Everything is fine. … I’m going to be OK,” Tejada said after the Orioles’ 10-8 victory over the Red Sox at Fort Myers, Fla. “It just hurt real bad for about five seconds and then it went away.”

Tejada, who has the longest active consecutive games played streak in the major leagues at 594, came out after Mark Bellhorn hit a chopper between third and shortstop for the first out of the fourth inning. Third baseman Melvin Mora cut in front of Tejada to make the play.

Tejada hit a two-run homer in the first inning.
