Brandon Crawford earns first career All-Star starting nod

SAN FRANCISCO–Brandon Crawford is the proud owner of one Silver Slugger, two World Series rings and three Gold Glove awards.

Crawford’s résumé is jam-packed, but he’ll need to make room for a new line.

The Giants infielder was named the starting shortstop for the National League in the 2018 All-Star Game Sunday.

Crawford, 31, is the only Giants player who earned a starting nod in this year’s game, but he won’t be the only member of his team traveling to Washington, D.C.

Catcher Buster Posey was named a reserve for the National League squad after leading National League catchers for much of the voting period.
