Rips three hits including triple Crawford went 3-for-5 with a triple, an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-7 win over the Rockies.
Impact Crawford scored the Giants' second run as a Little League home run, hitting a triple and then heading home after Brendan Rodgers' relay throw to third base ended up in the dugout. That hit snapped Crawford's 0-for-10 skid at the plate over his three previous games. The shortstop also had an RBI single in the sixth inning. He's hitting .220/.309/.350 with three home runs, 15 RBI, 19 runs scored and a stolen base across 139 plate appearances. That general slump compared to 2021 has seen Crawford drop to the bottom half of the order after starting the season most often hitting third or fourth.

Homers in victory Crawford went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer, three RBI and two runs Wednesday's win over the Rockies.
Impact Crawford drove in a run on a fielder's choice and came around to score in the bottom of the fourth inning before later taking Chad Kuhl deep for a two-run shot in the following frame. The homer was the shortstop's third of the year and second in his last seven games. Overall, Crawford's slash line of .223/.328/.359 leaves much to be desired and he'll look to build off this performance moving forward.

He's 7-for-27 (.259) with a home run, two RBI and three runs scored during that stretch. He started the season cold, but the recent uptick in success has lifted his slash line to .236/.333/.360 in 102 plate appearances.
