Giants' Brandon Crawford: Provides all the offense Tuesday with five RBI
Crawford went 2-for-3 with a double, a home run and five RBI in Tuesday's 5-1 win over the Padres.
Crawford provided all the Giants' offense, launching a three-run homer in the second off Padres starter Colin Rea before adding a sac fly in the sixth and an RBI double in the eighth. The National League's reigning Silver Slugger Award winner at shortstop has endured fluctuations in his performance so far. He entered Tuesday with a .192 batting average (5-for-26) and one RBI in his previous seven games. Yet following San Francisco's latest victory, Crawford now owns a .257 average, a point higher than his season-ending figure from 2015. He has five home runs and 21 RBI, putting him roughly on pace to match the 21-homer, 84-RBI output that helped him earn a six-year, $75 million contract extension during the offseason.
