MIAMI (AP) — Brandon Crawford was a big hit Monday night. Seven of them, to be exact.
Crawford became the first major leaguer in 41 years to get seven hits in a game, finally putting the San Francisco Giants ahead to stay with an RBI single in the 14th inning of an 8-7 victory over the Miami Marlins.
"A great performance," said Giants bench coach Ron Wotus, who filled in as manager after Bruce Bochy was hospitalized with an illness.
"Bochy picked a heck of a day to take off."
The previous player to get seven hits in a game was Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Rennie Stennett on Sept. 16, 1975, at the Chicago Cubs. He did it in nine innings, the only big leaguer to accomplish that feat since before 1900.
