Giants' bullpen can't hold back Dodgers
Los Angeles -- Michael Morse owns a first baseman's glove, although he did not stuff it into his duffel bag for this 10-game trip. If he saw it every day, it would remind him of the dire situation that would force him to use it.
Dire is now reality. Brandon Belt is lost for at least six weeks with a broken thumb, and manager Bruce Bochy said before Saturday's 6-2 loss to the Dodgers that, at least initially, Morse will move from left field and get the lion's share of starts at first base.
Left field will go to the hottest bat, with a new entrant in the competition.
In one of five roster moves, the Giants purchased the contract of outfielder Tyler Colvin from Triple-A Fresno. The 28-year-old former Rockie and Cub joined the team and struck out against Brian Wilson as a pinch-hitter in the eighth inning.
