    The Baltimore Orioles didn't waste any time putting first baseman Derrek Lee in an RBI situation.

    Lee made his Orioles debut in Saturday's 7-5 loss to the Philadelphia Phillies, batting third and going 0 for 1 with a walk and a run scored against left-hander Cole Hamels. Lee had been sidelined all spring with soreness in his right wrist.

    He came to the plate in the bottom of the first with two runners on base and no outs, and drew a walk after falling behind 0-2 in the count. Lee came around to score on Randy Winn's ground ball.

    Lee fanned in the second inning on another full count after Hamels got two quick strikes. Jake Fox pinch-hit for Lee in the fourth.
