Giants' Brandon Belt: Dropped to sixth in Monday's linuep
Belt was dropped to the sixth spot in the lineup Monday against the Reds.
Analysis:
He's hitting just .185/.312/.277 in 65 at-bats in July, a cold stretch that prompted manager Bruce Bochy to bat Belt sixth for the eighth time this season. The first baseman has typically hit third or fifth, and he should return to a more advantageous spot at some point, provided he snaps out of this funk. Jarrett Parker is starting in right field and hitting third Monday.
