SAN FRANCISCO — Buster Posey figured something was coming. For weeks, he has been asked about the longest home run drought of his career, and as he rounded third and headed for home in the fourth inning, he started to wonder what his teammates had in store for him.
Posey got the silent treatment as he jumped down the dugout steps, so he happily whipped his helmet down toward the other end of the dugout and raised both arms to celebrate his first blast in exactly two months. Only then did his teammates break and join the celebration.
