The Los Angeles Dodgers tied the Giants in the NL West standings after beating them 6-1 on Saturday at Oracle Park, but they lost a key player along the way.
Outfielder AJ Pollock has been diagnosed with a Grade 2 right hamstring strain after exiting the Dodgers' win early. Pollock doubled in the first inning, but was injured when attempting to steal third base and sliding awkwardly.
"Obviously it's a huge loss in any capacity," Dodgers manager Dave Roberts said after the game. "... We just gotta see where we're at tomorrow, but I think at the minimum it's going to be a couple of weeks."
