Souza scored on Corey Dickersons infield single.Souza was replaced by Brandon Guyer in center field to start the fourth. Cash said Souza is not hurt but declined to give specifics.Souza said he was pulled for not running hard the whole play.I think the bottom line is I play hard, but right there I didnt play very hard, Souza said. I got caught slippin and took for granted a routine play. Yeah, I got to third, but I could have easily scored if I was running hard. Its a bit embarrassing. Im not proud of it.Franklin went from second to third in the fourth when catcher Carlos Perez was charged with an error for overthrowing Lincecum after a pitch. Franklin was thrown out at the plate attempting to score on Hank Congers grounder.TIME OFF FOR TROUTTrout had his stretch of starting 145 consecutive games end.
