Obviously, this road trip didnt go the way we wanted it to, but you learn from this. We got some guys who got some playing time. And you use this for the future. The season isnt always going to go the way you want it to from start to finish. So, were going to go home and regroup and put this behind us.Right fielder Hunter Pence (hamstring), second baseman Joe Panik (concussion) and third baseman Matt Duffy (strained Achilles tendon) are sidelined, first baseman Brandon Belt was 2 for 33 (.061) on the trip and shortstop Brandon Crawford 6 for 33 (.182) with no RBI.We had some guys cold with the bat, manager Bruce Bochy said.

Three middle guys arent in the middle of the lineup, Belt said. Obviously, we havent done well this road trip, myself especially.

Bochy said. But really, he was pitching as well as Ive seen him for three innings. It just got away from him.Nathan Eovaldi (9-6) pitched shutout ball into the seventh. With the Yankees No Runs DMC trio unavailable after two days of heavy use, Chasen Shreve came in and loaded the bases with a walk to Belt, and Posey poked an opposite-field, two-run single to right against Chad Green, who retired Brandon Crawford on a groundout.New York turned a spectacular 4-1-5 inning-ending double play in the eighth. Pena grounded past a diving Teixeira at first but Castro slid on his stomach to come up with the ball on the outfield grass between first and second, sat up and threw to Green covering first. The pitcher then threw to third, where Chase Headley tagged a sliding Williamson.Youve got to play according to the scoreboard, Bochy said. He plays all out. We love his energy and his enthusiasm, but we just cant get thrown out there three runs down with two out.THE OLD DAYSOn a sunny afternoon with a 93-degree game-time temperature, Bochy remembered how players used to deal with heat during his playing days.We wore cabbage leafs in our hat, and some guys put them in your shoes. Its a leaf and you put it right in your hat, and it keeps your head cool, he said. I havent seen that since, I want to say probably `79 or `80. Philadelphia. I remember wearing them there, on the turf.TRAINERS ROOMGiants: Pence was 1 for 3 with an RBI single and grounded into a double play in the first game of Triple-A Sacramentos doubleheader Sunday. ...
