Angels first baseman Albert Pujols left Wednesday's game against the Red Sox in the bottom of the fourth inning, the result of tightness in his right calf.

Pujols was 2-for-2 with a double and run before he was removed from the game with the Angels leading, 4-0.

He singled in his first at-bat but was thrown out at second base when tried to stretch it to a double. Pujols doubled in the fourth and moved to third on a groundout. He scored on a single by Mark Trumbo but was not moving well on the bases at that point.

The slugger did not take the field when the Red Sox came up to bat in the fourth. Trumbo moved from left field to first base. Vernon Wells came off the bench to play left.

Pujols is hitting .283 with 34 doubles, 28 home runs and 86 RBIs in 121 games this season. He has not missed any games due to injury this year.
