Giants manager Bochy drops struggling Belt to seventh, plus lineup

Giants manager Bochy drops struggling Belt to seventh, plus lineup Bumgarner has set a lofty goal for a team that has one only one series out of 11 since the break. The Giants really need to try to live the cliche of playing them one game at a time, even one inning at a time. The Giants technically can win this series still and hope to square it Wednesday night with Johnny Cueto on the mound coming off a real good one against the Mets, one run in seven innings in an 8-1 victory. Manager Bruce Bochy telegraphed that he was about to drop the badly struggling Brandon Belt in the lineup. Maybe the Giants hope Hernandez can Thole-Segedin the heck out of the Dodgers with some surprising big hits. More damning, he has only 15 RBIs in 36 second-half games despite batting behind two hot hitters, Span and Angel Pagan. If you’ve blocked this out of your memory, Stripling no-hit the Giants for 7 1/3 innings in his major-league debut on April 8. Henry Schulman is a San Francisco Chronicle staff writer.
