document: Giants lose to Dodgers again , 4-3 LOS ANGELES - Brandon Belt 's first major league home run was a three-run objet d'art . It slipped like a pearl over the center-field fence , landed in a restricted area and gave the Giants a two-run advantage in the fourth inning Friday night . '' `` Hopefully I 'll get it back , '' '' the rookie said . '' `` Unless some security guard threw it in the trash . '' '' Discarding priceless items ? Two games and five errors into 2011 , that 's been the Giants ' sad refrain . For the second consecutive night , bad throws and clanking glovework resulted in a one-run defeat . Guillermo Mota gave up a tiebreaking single to Rafael Furcal in a mistake-filled , three-run sixth inning as the Giants lost 4-3 at Dodger Stadium . And Jonathan Sanchez forever lost the right to complain that spring training lasts too long . Sanchez , fresh off six weeks of tedious fielding practice , allowed the tying run to score in the sixth when he failed to scoop a 45-foot dribbler from pinch hitter Hector Gimenez - the Giants ' second error in the inning . Third baseman Pablo Sandoval also contributed an errant throw , mistakes that nullified the euphoria of Belt 's first major league home run . '' `` No , this is not how we thought we 'd open here , '' '' said Giants manager Bruce Bochy , asked about those five errors . '' `` We shot ourselves in the foot . It 's that simple . '' '' ... Are we discouraged ? No . It 's early . There 's no excuse , but these guys have worked hard . We 're just getting in rush mode when we do n't have to . '' '' The way Sanchez was missing bats , it looked as if Belt 's homer would stand up . The left-hander topped 200 strikeouts a year ago , and he had tremendous stuff in his debut , using his change-up and splitter to strike out eight in the first five innings . He made one early mistake in the third to Matt Kemp , who hit a ground-rule double that scored a run . But Kemp 's daring hustle ignited the Dodgers ' rally in the sixth . He hit a leadoff single and did n't stop sprinting when Marcus Thames sent a hit-and-run grounder to Sandoval . Kemp advanced to third as Sandoval threw across the diamond , positioning him to score on James Loney 's sacrifice fly . The Giants collapsed from there . Rod Barajas hit a two-out single , and the Dodgers spent the rest of the inning exploiting an innocuous looking patch of grass between the mound and third base . First , Aaron Miles hit a nubber that Sandoval barehanded but threw offline to first base , putting runners at second and third . Then Gimenez managed a tapper that Sanchez -LRB- 0-1 -RRB- fumbled as Barajas scored the tying run . Sanchez became excited when Gimenez provided the grounder he needed to escape with the lead . A little too excited . '' `` I went too fast , and I just missed it , '' '' Sanchez said . '' `` That cost us the game . '' '' It cost Sanchez a victory , too , and the baseball . Furcal greeted Mota with a line drive to right field that put the Dodgers ahead . In Thursday 's opener , Belt had the best at-bats in the afternoon shadows against Clayton Kershaw , seeing 27 pitches over his four plate appearances . The rookie saw the ball even better against Chad Billingsley , bringing new meaning to the term , '' `` belt-high fastball '' '' while crushing a 2-0 pitch that gave the Giants a 3-1 lead . Belt held a serious countenance as he sprinted down the line and did n't change his expression as teammates greeted him with helmet slaps and high fives . It was n't until he visited the bat rack and braced himself for a bear hug from Sandoval that Belt broke into a huge smile . He told Sandoval that he felt as if he were dreaming . '' `` It does n't feel like I 'm here right now , '' '' said Belt , soberly . '' `` But it 's tough when you do n't pull out a win . '' `` I hit that ball well . Then I thought , '' `` Oh my , he might catch it . '' '' It looked like a wall scraper from where I was . '' '' In case anyone is wondering , no National League club has produced consecutive rookie of the year winners since the Dodgers collected five trophies -LRB- Mike Piazza , Eric Karros , Raul Mondesi , Hideo Nomo , Todd Hollandsworth -RRB- from 1992-96 . It was not a wonderful night for the reigning NL rookie , though . Buster Posey rolled over an outside pitch while grounding into a double play in the first inning , then flicked his bat into the stands while striking out to strand the bases loaded in the seventh . Jonathan Broxton , who lost his job as the Dodgers '' '' closer last season , pitched the ninth to protect a one-run victory for the second consecutive night .
