Facing Billy Butler with the bases loaded in the seventh inning, rookie Brad Bergesen got the out he desperately coveted.

He just never figured it would be so darned painful.

Bergesen allowed one run in seven innings, then hobbled off the mound after being hit with a line drive on his final pitch, and the Baltimore Orioles beat the Kansas City Royals 7-3 Thursday.

Bergesen (7-5) was struck in the shin by Butler's sharp hit. Catcher Matt Wieters picked up the loose ball and threw out Butler to end the inning.
