PHILADELPHIA — Brandon Belt hit a two-run homer, Kevin Gausman niftily pitched out of trouble in six innings and the San Francisco Giants beat the Philadelphia Phillies 2-0.

San Francisco’s Gabe Kapler became the first manager in major league baseball history to start his career 200-200. 

Kapler, who was 161-163 as Philadelphia’s manager in 2018-19, was booed when he brought out the lineup card. 

Gausman allowed six hits, walked four and struck out five. 

Matt Wisler tossed a perfect seventh, Camilo Doval worked the eighth and Wandy Peralta finished off the seven-hitter for his second save.

The teams will play tonight again at 7:05 p.m.
