SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — All-Star Brandon Crawford had three hits, including his 18th home run, and the San Francisco Giants ensured themselves the best record in baseball at the break by thumping the Washington Nationals 10-4 on Saturday. San Francisco is 56-32, assured of the major leagues’ top record at the All-Star break in a season when it was expected to lag behind the Padres and Dodgers. “So far in this series we’ve fought for every pitch,” San Francisco manager Gabe Kapler said. “We all feel good as a team,” Crawford said. Webb started for San Francisco on Friday after a lengthy stay on the injured list.
