Minnesota Twins third baseman Danny Valencia left the game against Texas in the seventh inning on Friday night with a tight right hamstring.

Valencia singled with one out in the seventh. He broke for second on a foul ball off the bat of Jason Repko and came up lame. Twins trainers came out to check on him, and he left the game.

The team said he was pulled for precautionary reasons and is listed as day to day.

The rookie had two more singles to raise his batting average to .343.

Matt Tolbert was inserted as a pinch runner to replace Valencia.
