Brandon Belt homered on his birthday, newcomer Carlos Rodón overpowered once again and the San Francisco Giants beat the Mets 5-2 Wednesday night with New York manager Buck Showalter out for a medical procedure.
Belt led an early barrage against Mets starter Chris Bassitt , and Rodón and four relievers made it stand.Rodón — a former Chicago White Sox starter signed to a $44 million, two-year deal last month — struck out eight over five scoreless innings. The left-hander has 29 strikeouts over 17 innings, the most by a Giants pitcher through his first three starts with the franchise. Cliff Melton previously held the mark with 26 in 1937.
The 65-year-old Showalter expects to rejoin the team Thursday after an undisclosed procedure. Acting bench coach Dick Scott, hitting coach Eric Chavez and pitching coach Jeremy Hefner split leadership duties in his absence. The Giants used four hits to build a 3-0 lead, including an RBI double by Joc Pederson and run-scoring singles from Brandon Crawford and Wilmer Flores.
New York got on the board against San Francisco’s bullpen in the seventh, but the rally was capped at one run when rookie catcher Joey Bart threw out Marte trying to steal second.
