Battling hamstring tightness Manager Tony Vitello said that Basabe was removed from Tuesday's game against the Twins due to hamstring tightness, Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Basabe's hamstring has reportedly been bothering him for a few days now, and the Giants decided to err on the side of caution and pull him out of Tuesday's contest early. He doesn't seem to be bound for the injured list, though the Giants may give him a day or two off to ensure his hamstring doesn't become a larger issue.

Merrill's 2-run homer helps Padres beat Giants 5-4

The San Diego Padres secured a 5-4 victory over the San Francisco Giants on Sunday

AUGUST 2 • Associated Press

Carries offense in narrow loss Basabe went 2-for-4 with a double, a home run and four total RBI in a loss to the Padres on Saturday.

Impact Basabe was ultra-productive out of the No. 9 slot in the order in his first start of the season. The 25-year-old put San Francisco on the board with a solo homer in the third inning, then came up huge in a clutch spot in the eighth when he laced a two-out, two-RBI double off All-Star closer Mason Miller to tie the score 5-5. Basabe had all of one homer over 96 MLB plate appearances coming into Saturday, so his display of power was quite unexpected. His ability to play multiple infield positions could come in handy for San Francisco, but Basabe isn't expected to start on a regular basis.
