Travis Ishikawa homered and walked twice Saturday in the Pirates' 5-3 defeat of the Phillies. Ishikawa is hitting .350 with three homers in 20 at-bats since returning from a leg injury that cost him the first 10 days of the spring. The Pirates could seriously consider keeping him as a left-handed option at first base unless someone better comes along. Last year, Ishikawa hit .290/.389/.465 in 297 at-bats for a couple of International League teams. He's a lifetime .260/.324/.398 hitter in 774 major league at-bats.
