"For a second consecutive start against the Braves, Dodgers right-hander Chad Billingsley was forced to exit the game because of a problem with one of his hamstrings. On Sunday in Atlanta, it was a right hamstring cramp, but in Friday's 9-5, 12-inning loss to the Braves, Billingsley left after six innings with a strained left hamstring.The injury occurred when Billingsley ran out of the batter's box after singling in the bottom of the sixth. "[I was] running down the first-base line, and about halfway I felt a grab in my left hamstring," Billingsley said after the game. "No good thoughts were going through my mind at that time." After the inning ended, Billingsley debated whether to alert the Dodgers' medical staff or head back to the mound and try to pitch through the seventh. "I was thinking to myself, 'Should I say something now, or if I should go back out there and try to throw?'" Billingsley said."
