SAN FRANCISCO — The San Francisco Giants turned a triple play in the eighth inning of their game against the San Diego Padres Friday night, the second in the majors this year.

Pitcher Keiichi Yabu had just entered with runners on first and second and got Kevin Kouzmanoff to ground into the Giants' first triple play since June 14, 1999.

Third baseman Jose Castillo fielded the hard grounder near the bag and retired Brian Giles on the forceout, then relayed to second baseman Ray Durham to get Adrian Gonzalez. Durham then fired the ball to first baseman John Bowker for the third out.

The Giants hadn't turned a triple play at home since Oct. 3, 1980, against San Diego at Candlestick Park.

Cleveland's Asdrubal Cabrera turned an unassisted triple play May 12.
