Giants first baseman Brandon Belt was out of the lineup for the second straight game on Wednesday against the Dodgers as he continued to deal with an illness. Buster Posey played first base in his absence with Hector Sanchez getting the start behind the plate.

Belt went 0 for 3 with two strikeouts on opening day after batting .343 with a .596 slugging percentage during spring training.
