Ibanez leaves with tightness in hamstring

SEATTLE -- Mariners' left fielder Raul Ibanez was pulled in
the fifth inning on Saturday night against Cincinnati after feeling
tightness in his right hamstring.

Ibanez grimaced after trying to beat out a double play in the
third inning. He remained in the game, but was lifted in the bottom
of the fifth when Jason Ellison pinch hit. Ellison replaced Ibanez
in the field in the sixth.

The team said Ibanez would be re-examined on Sunday.

Ibanez hit the fourth grand slam of his career in the first
inning on Saturday off Cincinnati starter Kyle Lohse. It was his
sixth homer of the season.
