Crawford, Giants pounce on shaky Pirates bullpen in 7-5 win

The San Francisco Giants don't overwhelm with their bats. Or their pitching. Or their defense. Their margin of error isn't quite as wide as the two rivals they are trying to chase down in the loaded NL West.

What it means

  • Season series: SF wins series 2-1.
  • Giants 18-13 on the road; Pirates 13-19 at home.
