SAN FRANCISCO — Kris Bryant hit two home runs, Kevin Gausman set a career high for wins and the San Francisco Giants beat the New York Mets 7-5 on Monday night.
Brandon Crawford had four hits to continue his surge at the plate over the past month. The All-Star shortstop, who signed a two-year, $32 million contract last week, is hitting .427 over his last 28 games.
Brandon Belt also homered and Wilmer Flores added two hits and an RBI. The Giants have won 16 of 21.
Mets shortstop Javier Báez (back spasms) fielded grounders before the game, and the team sounds confident he will be ready to return soon.
