It was the second time on the day he was part of a back to back set.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">In the first game, Crawford went 5 for 6 with two homers and tied a San Francisco team record with eight RBIs as the Giants scored a season high in runs in a 19-2 rout of the Rockies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Dereck Rodriguez (4-5), recalled from Triple-A Sacramento prior to the second game, pitched five innings and allowed one run on four hits. He struck out six and walked none and kept the Rockies in the yard during his outing. The Giants got four innings of scoreless relief, capped by Will Smith, who got three outs for his 24th save. Crawford had a sparkling defensive play in the ninth to help put the game away, making a diving stop of Nolan Arenado\u2019s grounder and flipping the ball to second baseman Donovan Solan for a force out.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Gonzalez, who was recalled from Triple-A Albuquerque prior to the second game, went five innings and allowed five hits, including the successive homers to Vogt and Crawford. It was the third time this season San Francisco has had back to back home runs in a game and the second time in the double header. Crawford and Mike Yastrzemski went back to back in the first inning of the first game, which was a makeup for a May 8 rainout<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Garrett Hampson, the fleet infielder who pulled off the rare feat of scoring from second base on an infield groundout in a Rockies\u2019 win over Cincinnati on Sunday, was twice tagged out on the basepaths in Monday\u2019s nightcap. He reached on an error in the third inning and after right fielder Austin Slater dropped Charlie Blackmon\u2019s fly ball for an error, Hampson made a dash for home but slipped and fell rounding third. He tried to scramble back to third but was tagged out by Pablo Sandoval. In the fifth, Hampson doubled in the Rockies\u2019 only run but tried to stretch the hit into a triple. Initially called safe, a replay review showed Sandoval got the tag down before his hand hit the bag.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Yastrzemski went 4 for 6 with a homer and Buster Posey also went deep for San Francisco in the first game in which the Rockies allowed the most runs ever in a game against the Giants, an NL West rival. It marked only the fourth time in the Rockies\u2019 history that they had lost by at least 17 runs, and the first since losing by 17 to Florida on Sept. 17, 1995.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Preserving his bullpen in the one-sided slugfest, Rockies manager Bud Black inserted first baseman Mark Reynolds to pitch the ninth. Reynolds allowed two runs and two hits. It was the third time in Rockies history that a position player had been used as a pitcher.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Jeff Samardzija (7-7), who had allowed 17 runs in 12 1\/3 innings in losing his three previous starts at Colorado, didn\u2019t give up a run until pinch-hitter Raimel Tapia homered to straightaway center with two outs in the sixth inning.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">It was Tapia\u2019s fourth-career pinch homer and the third this season. Ryan McMahon homered in the seventh for the Rockies\u2019 other run.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Samardzija retired the first six batters he faced and finished with nine strikeouts in 6 2\/3 innings. He allowed two runs and four hits.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">German Marquez, who won both of his previous starts against the Giants in San Francisco this season, was in trouble from the outset.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Marquez (8-5) allowed a career-high 11 runs on 11 hits in 2 2\/3 innings. It was the second time in four days that Rockies pitchers had been tagged for 17 or more runs in a game. The Reds beat Colorado 17-9 on Friday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Crawford added an RBI single in the fourth, a two-run drive off Tinoco in the sixth and a two-run single in the ninth off Reynolds. Others in the San Francisco era with eight RBIs in a game are Willie Mays on April 30, 1961, and Orlando Cepeda on July 4, 1961.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">TRAINER\u2019S ROOM<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Giants: 3B Evan Longoria was placed on the 10-day injured list because of left foot plantar fasciitis. His roster spot was filled by the recall of RHP Ray Black from Triple A-Sacramento. Longoria was lifted from Sunday\u2019s game at Milwaukee in the fifth inning because of left foot soreness.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText Subhead\">UP NEXT<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Giants: Have not yet announced a starter for Tuesday night\u2019s game against the Rockies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">Rockies: Rookie RHP Peter Lambert (2-1, 6.67 ERA) will look to rebound after taking his first career loss last time out when he allowed four runs on five hits in five innings in a July 3 setback to Houston.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">More AP MLB: <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/MLB<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP%E2%80%94Sports\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/AP\u2014Sports<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.postindependent.com\/sports\/crawford-has-2-hrs-8-rbis-as-giants-overwhelm-rockies-19-2\/?\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Post Independent<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brandon Crawford went 5 for 6 with two homers and tied a San Francisco Giants team record with eight RBIs in a win over the Colorado Rockies Monday in Denver.Associated Press | AP San Francisco Giants&#8217; Brandon Crawford heads up the first base line after hitting a two-run home run off Colorado Rockies relief pitcher [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[160],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1312457","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-local-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-20 20:04:38","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KSKE Ski Country","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1312457","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1312457"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1312457\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1312457"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1312457"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kske\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1312457"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
