Plates pair with double Crawford went 1-for-4 with a two-RBI double in Friday's 3-1 win over the Rockies.

Impact The Giants couldn't get much going against Rockies starter Austin Gomber until the seventh inning. With the bases loaded, Crawford sent a double to right-center field, scoring Darin Ruf and Buster Posey to give Giants starter Johnny Cueto all the run support he needed. The 34-year-old Crawford hasn't hit very well to start the year, with a .136/.174/.318 slash line, a homer, three RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base across 23 plate appearances. Nonetheless, the veteran shortstop should have a long leash before he would lose playing time to Donovan Solano or Mauricio Dubon.

Smacks first home run of 2021 Crawford went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to the Padres.

Impact Crawford provided the lone run for the Giants on a solo shot to right-center field to give them an early 1-0 lead. Unfortunately, the team mustered up only three hits on the night as Yu Darvish and the Padres' bullpen were nearly untouchable. Crawford has started out the year a bit slow with just two hits in his first 19 plate appearances but maybe could start to get going a bit more after finally making some hard contact.

Steals base in win Crawford went 0-for-3 with a stolen base and a run scored in Friday's 6-3 win over the Mariners.

Impact Crawford got on base for the first time this season with a walk in the seventh inning. He then advanced to second on a Mike Yastrzemski walk and stole third before scoring on Donovan Solano's two-run double. The 34-year-old Crawford had a solid bounce-back campaign in 2020 with eight homers, 28 RBI, 26 runs scored and a .256/.326/.465 slash line in 54 games. He remains the Giants' primary shortstop in 2021, but he's expected to hit near the bottom of the order.
