On an evening that should have been a joyous occasion for the Giants, there was a solemn tone to it as one member of the franchise grieved.
Brandon Belt, who hit two of San Francisco's four home runs, revealed on Giants Postgame Live during an on-field interview that his grandmother, Margaret Peterson, had passed away just hours earlier on Tuesday morning. And, he decided to honor her by dedicating the game and the rest of the season to her.
"I'm a pretty private person, but I just want to dedicate this game to my grandmother, who passed away this morning," Belt said.
