On Brandon Belt's first birthday in the majors, he was shipped back to the minor leagues. Belt ended nearly a dozen years of birthday misery with his homer, newcomer Carlos Rodón overpowered once again and San Francisco beat the Mets 5-2 with New York manager Buck Showalter out for a medical procedure. Belt led an early barrage against Mets starter Chris Bassitt (2-1), and Rodón and four relievers made it stand.
