Since shifting in baseball became the crack cocaine of every bench coach in the league, San Francisco Giants fans had been pining for Brandon Belt to lay one down the third base line when teams put on the lefty-pull shift. Well, he came around on it tonight.
Belt slapped one down the line in a 3-1 count in the bottom of the seventh inning, when the Giants were down to the Dodgers by the score of 4-2. Derek Holland‘s bad fourth inning put the Giants in a hole against the Dodgers’ Ace this season, Hyun-Jin Ryu.
