RAM response spectrum: Base shear in both X and Y directions

I am performing response spectrum analysis of one BRB frame. I noticed the base shear appears in two directions "X" and "Y" under one direction excitation. 

That seems not right to me. Base shear should occur only in the direction response spectrum applied.
