DENVER — During Buster Posey’s postgame interview Saturday, after he hit a pair of three-run homers in the Giants’ 10-5 victory, he was asked about Matt Duffy’s contributions.

Duffy had two hits and was on base three times, including for both of Posey’s homers. In the process, Duffy snapped his 0-for-24 road funk.

“If you have a kid, he’s a guy you want your kid to watch,” Posey said. “He doesn’t pout. He plays the game hard. It’s fun for me to watch. Those are type of guys you really, really, really are pulling hard for. I’m not saying you’re not pulling for everybody, but it’s hard not to pull for a guy who comes to the park with a good attitude no matter what, and he’s doing it in his second year.”

Sunday morning, the comment was relayed to Duffy.

“Buster said that about me?” he asked. “Well, I just copy Buster. So he’s just complimenting himself because he knows I copy him. So really, he’s just patting himself on the back.”

Good one.

“No,” Duffy added, “it means a lot coming from a guy like that. I look up to him not only with the way he handles the bat but the way he handles the spotlight and being able to handle his teammates. It’s like another coach out there playing with you. And the way he handles himself off the field, for him to say that about me means a lot.”

Even with the two Coors Field hits, Duffy is hitting .133 on the road, the worst in the majors.

“I don’t know what it is,” he said. “I feel I’m putting together competitive at-bats on the road. I’m not changing my approach at home or on the road. I don’t feel any different. I think it’s just one of those things, over the course of the season, I would hope it irons itself out. Because I don’t think they’ll be able to handle a middle-of-the-lineup bat hitting .100 for the whole season on the road.”

Manager Bruce Bochy said, “There’s no way to explain it. He’ll tell you the same thing. I was glad to see him get a couple of hits yesterday. When that gets talked about and a player becomes aware of it, it could creep inside your head and you’re starting to think about it. The good news is we’re in May, and that’ll balance itself out. There’s no reason to explain why his numbers are that dramatic.”
