DENVER (AP) -Carlos Gonzalez left the Colorado Rockies' game Tuesday night against San Diego with a tight left hamstring. Gonzalez, who led off the bottom of the first inning with a standup triple and scored on a balk, was replaced in left field in the bottom of the second inning by Seth Smith, who doubled and scored in his first at-bat. The game-time temperature was 48 degrees and it appeared Gonzalez was removed as a precautionary measure. Manager Jim Tracy had wanted to give Smith the night off so he could regain his hitting stroke.Copyright © 2005 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
