Panda sprints, then limps

Pablo Sandoval epitomized the ups and downs of the Giants’ season on a single fifthinning sequence.

Sandoval legged out a tworun, stand-up triple (his first since 2015) and scored on a medium-deep flyball. But he strained his right hamstring on his slide, held his leg walking back to the dugout and will have an MRI exam Monday.

Sandoval wasn’t limping in the clubhouse after the game. Asked whether he expects to miss time, he said, “I hope not. I’ll be missing time when

(Brandon) Belt comes back.” The Giants already were thin at first base with Belt on the disabled list with a hyperextended right knee. Austin

Slater replaced Sandoval and moved to left field when Chase

d’Arnaud played first. Sandoval said he had a similar feeling to 2012 when straining his hamstring doing the splits at first base. He missed three weeks. Rare double play: The Giants pulled off a rare double play when Slater caught a foul popup while reaching into the stands, then threw to pitcher Sam Dyson covering first base, where Milwaukee’s Christian Yelich was off the bag. “I thought it was going in the seats,” Dyson said. “I saw Slater going over there, and I figured if he was putting in the effort, I better put in the effort. He made an awesome play.”

Slater gave credit to Dyson, saying, “Sammy was standing right there, so I tried to throw a little dart to him. He did a little toe drag, a little fancy footwork.”

Initially Yelich was ruled safe, but the call was reviewed and overturned. Dyson said he knew he got the out because Yelich stepped on his foot.
