SAN DIEGO -- Just after Padres third baseman Yangervis Solarte changed the game with a two-run double in the seventh inning to tie the game at 2 on Wednesday night against the Giants, he exited with a right hamstring cramp.
Solarte slowed a bit running to second base, and with Cory Spangenberg batting, play stopped for an athletic trainer to come talk with Solarte.
San Diego first-base coach Jose Valentin came out and communicated with Solarte. After a discussion, Solarte walked back to the dugout and was replaced by pinch-runner Clint Barmes.
