ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Brandon Crawford was in for a special night just by taking the field at shortstop for the San Francisco Giants. His two home runs and a big slam by Mike Tauchman just made the planned postgame champagne toast even sweeter. Tauchman hit a go-ahead grand slam between the two homers by Crawford, who set the Giants' franchise record for most games as a shortstop in San Francisco’s 9-4 win over the slumping Texas Rangers on Tuesday night. It was the first grand slam by a Giants batter in the eighth inning or later when trailing by multiple runs since July 1980. UP NEXTLoading... Loading... Loading... Loading... Loading...
