Ishikawa goes deep twice, from the Splash

Ishikawa goes deep twice, Posey too, and a triple play
Quite an eventful split-squad game going on at Phoenix Muni between the Giants and A's.

Travis Ishikawa busted out of a slump with two home runs good for four RBIs, including a monster shot to center against reliever Michael Wuertz.

Buster Posey also hit a long homer. I didn't see it. I was in the clubhouse talking to Ishikawa, but an eyewitness said some fans behind the plate were jeering Posey. When he returned from his home run trot, the save fans were cheering, and Posey doffed his cap.

We left that game early to watch the Giants play at home against the Padres, and we understand that back in Phoenix Bobby Crosby grounded into a triple play started by third baseman Ryan Rohlinger.

Back to Ishikawa. He hit 27 homers last year, eight in Connecticut, 16 in Phoenix and three in San Francisco. But he's begging fans not to get used to it.

"If we're relying on me to hit home runs, we're in trouble," he said. "I know the fans are waiting for someone since Barry Bonds left, but that's not the kind of hitter I am."

Back to Posey, he made some exceptional plays behind the plate. He threw out Jason Giambi trying to take third on a ball that bounced away from Posey toward the first-base dugout. Posey also made a pretty basket catch on a pop foul by Crosby that was sailing away from him. Last I heard, the Giants were leading 6-3 in Phoenix. They're losing 2-0 to the Padres in Scottsdale.
