More from San Francisco Giants
Brandon Belt, the San Francisco Giants’ All-Star first baseman, took to social media on Friday to combat the notion that he needs to bunt more, and he can blame Anthony Rizzo for starting this latest round of Belt Bash.
In the seventh inning of Thursday’s NLCS game five, the Los Angeles Dodgers shifted against the Cubs’ first baseman. As is normal against the left-handed slugger, three infielders took their place to the right of second base. Rizzo took advantage of the wide open space to his left, laying down a perfect bunt against Luis Avilan and reaching first before the closest defender even put a hand on the ball in play.
