— -- Baltimore starter Wade Miley?left the Orioles' game on Friday night after being struck by line drives off the bats of two consecutive White Sox hitters in the first inning.

Chicago first baseman? Jose Abreu smoked a liner off Miley's pitching hand. The veteran left-hander was examined by a trainer, insisted he was OK and stayed in the game.

Two pitches later, Avisail Garcia ripped a liner that struck Miley in the back of the left leg. He scrambled to his feet, but that was the last of his 12 pitches on Friday night.

Miley walked off under his own power and was replaced by Gabriel Ynoa, who retired the side after Abreu and Garcia had reached first base with singles.?

The Orioles beat the White Sox, 4-2, and Ynoa, making his first appearance for the O's, got the win. He threw six scoreless innings, allowing six hits, striking out five ?and walking none.

Miley gave up three hits and registered two outs in the shortest start of his career.

CSN reported that the ball off Abreu's bat had an exit velocity of 103 mph, while the one off Avisail Garcia's bat was clocked at 102.
