Crawford went 1-for-2 with two walks, a hit-by-pitch and a run in a win over the Cardinals on Friday.

The busy game on the basepaths was a badly needed one for the struggling Crawford, who'd recently been bumped from the top of the order and had come into the night slashing .083/.290/.083 over the 31 plate appearances covering his first seven games back from the injured list. Crawford had run into some tough luck during that stretch, so it's conceivable Friday's performance is the start of a turnaround to some degree.
