The SFGiants, behind a strong start from Anthony DeSclafani and plenty of timely hits, kicked off the homestand with a win over the Pirates on Memorial Day.
In speaking to reporters later that day, DeSclafani went into detail describing the freak injury and how the nail came detached from his toe.
Monday was DeSclafani's third start since his outing in Arizona and easily his best in the month of May since an eight-inning shutout against the Houston Astros on May 2. Not only did he pitch well, but showed improved mobility in the top of the fourth inning while fielding a comebacker off the mound where he planted on his right foot and threw off balance to record the out at first.Crawford, for the first time in his career, has been a healthy scratch from the Giants' lineup in recent games.
Obviously for good reason given Schmitt's ascension to everyday player and Crawford's struggles at the plate. Coming into Monday's game, Crawford was hitting just .177/.262/.333 with four home runs and 12 RBI.However, after starting at short and recording three hits, a walk, and an RBI on Monday, Crawford has to feel good about how he bounced back from an ominous road trip.
As he transitions from an everyday cornerstone player to potentially a veteran who starts sporadically off the bench, it serves as an important reminder that Crawford always will be able to hang with the youngsters.
