Brandon Belt sitting out on Monday for Giants

San Francisco Giants first baseman Brandon Belt is not in the lineup Monday versus the Los Angeles Dodgers.

What It Means:

The Dodgers are starting lefty Clayton Kershaw on Monday, who seems to have Belt's number throughout his career. Belt is batting .059 with just three hits in 51 at-bats versus the Dodgers ace. Manager Bruce Bochy is smartly sitting the lefty in favor of Michael Morse.

Belt is batting .250/.373/.467 with 4 home runs, 11 RBI's and 14 runs scored in 110 plate appearances this season.
