LOS ANGELES -- Ninety minutes before the Giants took the field at Dodger Stadium for batting practice, infielder Kelby Tomlinson walked over to shallow right field with bench coach Ron Wotus. The two spent about 15 minutes going through a refresher course, with Tomlinson working on staying low on short hops and keeping from tensing up.
Tomlinson has twice failed to turn double plays in the last week, and both errors were costly. He said they were two very different plays. On the ball in the ninth last week, Tomlinson didn't let his instincts take over, leading to an awkward catch attempt.
