Nate Schierholtz went 3-for-3 with an RBI and a walk against the Phillies on Tuesday. |
Schierholtz found himself on the bench at the beginning of the season after a poor spring, but it's going to be hard to sit him now with the start he's off to (.360, 2 HR, 6 RBI in 25 AB). That's bad news for Brandon Belt fans. |

Nate Schierholtz (foot) could be placed on the 15-day disabled list this weekend. |

While the Giants are busy crossing their fingers, Aubrey Huff will play left field and Brandon Belt will play right on Tuesday night. |
