Perfect at plate Monday Flores went 4-for-4 with a double and three singles in Monday's 3-2 loss to the Dodgers.
Impact Flores enjoyed a perfect performance at the plate, although San Francisco's No. 7 through 9 hitters went 1-for-10 with two walks behind him. The 29-year-old continues to play through some hamstring tightness that kept him out of last Wednesday's game. He's seen everyday at-bats at third base with Evan Longoria (shoulder) out. Flores is slashing .269/.335/.440 with seven home runs, 25 RBI, 25 runs scored and a stolen base through 203 plate appearances.

Managing hamstring tightness Flores isn't in Wednesday's lineup against the Angels due to hamstring tightness, Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Impact Flores had hit three home runs across the last two games, but he was removed from Tuesday's win over the Angels early. Manager Gabe Kapler revealed that the 29-year-old's removal was due to a hamstring issue. While Kapler said that Flores could likely play, he'll be held out ahead of Thursday's scheduled off day as a precautionary measure. He should be considered day-to-day for now, but the Giants are hopeful that he'll be able to return for Friday's series opener against the Athletics.
