Giants shortstop Brandon Crawford has provided the spark San Francisco needs in the lineup so far this season. Crawford's power numbers haven't been much different from his other seasons, manager Bruce Bochy said per MLB.com.
"When you look at a guy having success, that's usually the case," Bochy said. "You look at his history, he's always got out to a nice start."
Crawford has a a career high .382/.382/.514 slash line to begin the season and came into Monday's game 10 for his last 14 at the plate.
"That's why he was off yesterday, to give him some more rest so he stays strong," Bochy said before Monday's game.
