Giants first baseman/outfielder Brandon Belt was held out of the starting lineup Friday against the Nationals for the second time in six games. It was just the sixth time since May 1 he did not start.

Belt's absence likely had to do with Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez pitching. Belt is 1 for 6 against Gonzalez in his career and is batting just .133 against lefties in 2015.

Belt is batting just .206 since June 1. His batting average has declined from .306 to .268 in that span.
