{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}
Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Justin Upton left Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning loss to the Miami Marlins in the first inning with a tight left hamstring.
He appeared to suffer the injury while running the bases after hitting a two- run single. Upton also scored on a sacrifice fly by Ryan Wheeler later in the frame before being replaced in the second inning by Gerardo Parra.
In 113 games this season for the D-backs, Upton is hitting .271 with nine home runs and 47 RBI.
