Giants first baseman Brandon Belt has become a doubles machine lately. Belt, who went 2 for 4 and scored a run in Thursday's loss to the Marlins, has recorded a double in five straight games and six of his last eight. Belt is also riding a five-game hitting streak, during which he is batting .471 (8 for 17) with a triple and an RBI to go along with the five two-baggers.
Belt is heating up after a rough start to the season. He has seen his season batting average rise from .235 at the end of April to .274 entering play on Friday.
