MIAMI — 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.
