DENVER -- The month of May was a big hit for Brandon Crawford.
Make that 42 hits to be exact.
Crawford kept up his May hitting surge by lining a pair of singles, Gorkys Hernandez had a diving catch in center field to thwart a rally, and the San Francisco Giants avoided being swept with a 7-4 win over the Colorado Rockies on Wednesday night.
Crawford was 2 for 5 with an RBI. He's hitting .412 this month, raising his season average from .189 to .307.
"I tell you this guy has been fun to watch after his start and he's picked it up," said Giants manager Bruce Bochy, whose team won for just the second time in 14 games at Coors Field.
