Dodgers (42-55)
Gwynn LF
Furcal SS

Rookie Brandon Belt, who homered Tuesday night and delivered the tie-breaking two-run single in the seventh inning for the Giants, starts again today at first base over Aubrey Huff...with the full support of Huff. "If he goes out there the next three games and gets five hits a game, I'd expect he'll play," Huff told Andrew Baggarly of the San Jose Mercury News . "That's the way this team is built. "... You've got to ride the hot hand."
