Crawford went 7-for-8 in the Giants’ 14-inning, 8-7 win over the Miami Marlins, becoming the sixth player ever to record at least seven hits in a Major League game. The previous player to get seven hits in a game was Pittsburgh Pirates infielder Rennie Stennett on September 16, 1975, at the Chicago Cubs.
He assumed it would happen sooner or later: He d wake up one day to the news that finally, for the first time since his magical day at Wrigley Field in 1975, a major league player would collect seven hits in a game. He recorded five singles, a double, a triple and a strike out and fell just a home run shy of the cycle.
CARDINALS 5, REDS 4: Yadier Molina started and ended a five-run rally in the ninth inning as St. Louis stunned Cincinnati. Yelich also turned in a stellar performance, going 3 for 6 with a double, home run and four RBIs.

In Toronto, Devon Travis had a career-high four hits, including the go-ahead single in the seventh inning, and the Blue Jays beat Tampa Bay.
Crawford, entered the night hitting.265 and 7 hits later pulled him to a.278 average.
There s no guarantee, but they don t see anything happening, said Bochy, 61.

Bochy will be monitored overnight and “is resting comfortably and expected to return tomorrow”, Giants senior media relations director Matt Chisholm said.
