The Giants got three more hits from Melky Cabrera. Ryan Theriot had three hits and a stolen base. Theriot, Cabrera and Pablo Sandoval made stellar defensive plays -- Sandoval in his first start of the year at first base -- and Ryan Vogelsong went seven strong once again.
Sandoval and Angel Pagan drew back-to-back walks to force in a second run, and Posey scored on Joaquin Arias' fielder's choice grounder to short. The inning appeared apartment rentals rome to end when Brandon Crawford hit a sinking fly ball to left that Mark Kotsay appeared to catch before Advertisement it hit the ground.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy challenged third-base umpire Dana DeMuth's call that Kotsay made the catch, however, and after huddling to discuss the play, the umpiring crew reversed the decision. Crawford was credited with an RBI single and the Giants had their fourth run.
The question that remains to be answered is how long the move will last. Bochy said before apartment rentals rome the game that Belt needs a break to get things sorted out after going 1 for 20 with eight strikeouts on the club's six-game road trip.
Hence, Sandoval got the call as his replacement, with Arias taking over at third base. Bochy wouldn't say how many games Belt might sit out but said he needs some extended time to make some adjustments and regain his confidence.
"He said his confidence has been shaken apartment rentals rome a little bit, and you're forced to make a move when you hear that," the manager said. "He needs a break to get it back, and just get back to making contact. That's become an issue. He's not that kind of hitter."
Sandoval had played first base just once this year, but that was only for an inning late in a game, and he only played six games there in 2011. He has played 61 games at first as a major leaguer -- 53 starts, but hasn't logged significant time there since 2009, when he played in 26 games covering apartment rentals rome 207 innings.
"Fine ... great," he said. "No matter what, I'm going to be happy to be in the lineup. Whatever position they put me at, I'm going to do my best to try to catch the ball and make a play to win the game."
Depending apartment rentals rome on how he performs defensively, it could be Sandoval at first base for a while, with Arias playing third base. Posey also can play at first base on days he isn't catching. In any case, Belt could be looking at a long breather to get his bearings.
"This is a tough game, and you've got to man up and battle through these things," he said. "We all have our tough days. The only thing you can do is keep working and believe you're going to get through it.
