      MLB.com  |  Sep 11, 07

      SAN FRANCISCO -- Jeff Salazar approached Bob Melvin during batting practice Monday and apologetically told the D-backs manager that he would need to be removed from the starting lineup. "You know I can give you an at-bat today, but I'm having trouble getting out there in the outfield," the outfielder told Melvin. That one at-bat proved to be just what the D-backs needed as Salazar hit a pinch-hit, three-run homer in the ninth inning to lead Arizona past the Giants, 5-3, Monday night at AT&T Park. "I didn't want to tell him at all," said Salazar, who tweaked his left ankle Saturday when he ran...
