2 years agoSan Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt was on the bench again Friday, as the opposing San Diego Padres started left-hander Blake Snell. Belt made a late pinch-hit appearance, smashing a two-run home run off of right-handed reliever Nick Martinez. It was his sixth long ball of the year and his first since June 15. This season has been a struggle for Belt, who has managed just a .693 OPS in 173 plate appearances. If he's reduced to a platoon bat, as much of the Giants roster is, the dip in playing time will have a significant impact on his projections the rest of the way.--Doug Goldring - RotoBaller
