PITTSBURGH (AP) — Boston Red Sox designated hitter Masataka Yoshida left Saturday's game against the Pittsburgh Pirates with left hamstring tightness.
The 33-year-old Yoshida hit a double down the right-field line in the third inning, but had a noticable limp as he neared second base. He immediately called to the dugout and was replaced by Anthony Seigler.
