Crawford's RBI single completes Giants' rally past D-backs

Brandon Crawford hit a game-ending RBI single and the San Francisco Giants rallied from an early 3-0 deficit to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-3

JULY 13, 2022 • Associated Press

Scores thrice Tuesday Slater went 3-for-5 with a double, an RBI and three runs scored in Tuesday's 13-0 win over the Diamondbacks.

Impact This was Slater's fifth multi-hit effort in his last eight games. He continues to look effective atop the lineup against left-handed pitchers. The outfielder has lifted his slash line to .287/.395/.456 through 65 contests, though he was batting just .241 at the end of June. He's added five home runs, five stolen bases, 22 RBI and 29 runs scored in 162 plate appearances this year.

Swipes bag Thursday Slater was hit by a pitch, stole a base and scored a run in a 2-1 loss in an extra inning Thursday in San Diego. He did not have an official at-bat.

Impact Slater pinch hit for Brandon Belt to lead off the ninth inning. He was hit by a pitch, stole second and came around to score on a two-out RBI single by Brandon Crawford. Slater is off to a great start in July, going 6-for-13 with two walks in a platoon role. The 29-year-old has a solid .822 OPS and is 5-for-5 in stolen base attempts.

Snags fourth steal Slater went 0-for-2 with a walk and a stolen base in Monday's 8-3 loss to the Diamondbacks.

Impact Starting in center field and hitting leadoff with lefty Madison Bumgarner on the bump for Arizona, Slater was able to make an impact on the basepaths. He remains on the short side of a platoon, and while he's managed five homers, four steals and a .243/.367/.417 slash line through 139 plate appearances this season, his fantasy utility will be limited mostly to NL-only and deep mixed formats without a path to more playing time.

Haase's two-run HR allows Tigers to hold off Giants 3-2

Eric Haase hit a two-run homer to break a 1-all tie in the sixth inning and the Detroit Tigers held on to beat the San Francisco Giants 3-2

Slides into reserve role Slater is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Tigers, Maria I. Guardado of MLB.com reports.

Impact Slater had picked up starts in center field in four of the Giants' past five games in the wake of Luis Gonzalez (back) landing on the injured list, but Slater is expected to move into a short-side platoon role moving forward. The Giants welcomed back lefty-hitting outfielder LaMonte Wade (knee) from the 10-day injured list Wednesday, and he, Mike Yastrzemski and Joc Pederson will likely compose San Francisco's outfield in most matchups versus right-handed pitching.

Blasts homer Thursday Slater went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an RBI single in Thursday's 7-6 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Slater made a relatively rare start against a right-hander Thursday, and he held his ground. He took Atlanta starter Kyle Wright deep for a solo shot in the fifth inning, which was Slater's third in his last 10 games and his fifth of the year. The outfielder is up to a .260/.379/.469 slash line with 17 RBI, 19 runs scored and three stolen bases. At least until LaMonte Wade (knee) returns, Slater appears to have a grip on a starting role in center field while Mike Yastrzemski covers for Luis Gonzalez (back) in right.

Notches steal Wednesday Slater went 1-for-1 with a stolen base in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Slater entered the game as a pinch hitter in the eighth inning, but he was left on second base after a single and a steal. He remained in the game as the center fielder. The outfielder is slashing .250/.375/.435 with four home runs, three steals, 15 RBI and 18 runs scored across 112 plate appearances, though he may see a little extra playing time with Luis Gonzalez (back) heading to the injured list Thursday.

Homers in Saturday's win Slater went 1-for-2 with a solo home run and a walk in Saturday's 7-5 win over the Pirates.

Impact Slater continues to serve as the Giants' main leadoff hitter versus southpaws, and he's done well. His homer Saturday was his fourth of the season and his second in June. He's slashing .241/.374/.437 with 14 RBI, 17 runs scored and a pair of stolen bases. While he has a slight reverse OPS split this year -- .845 versus righties, .714 versus lefties -- that stands in contrast dramatically to his career rates. He's yet to command more than the short side of a platoon in center field, though he also often appears off the bench.

Hits leadoff blast Slater went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-0 win over the Dodgers.

Impact Slater opened the bottom of the first inning with a homer on the fourth pitch he saw from Julio Urias. That was ultimately all the offense the Giants needed for the win. Through six games since he returned from a wrist injury, Slater is 4-for-16 (.250) with a homer, a triple, two RBI and two runs scored. That's right in line with his season production -- he's slashing .250/.371/.425 with three homers, two triples, a double, 13 RBI, 14 runs scored and two stolen bases in 97 plate appearances. He should be in the lineup versus most left-handed pitchers.

Reinstated from injured list Slater (wrist) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Saturday, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

Impact Slater landed on the 10-day injured list with left wrist inflammation last week but has been taking batting practice over the last several days. The 29-year-old isn't starting Saturday against the Marlins but should be available off the bench while Mike Yastrzemski draws the start in center field.
