Two days after returning from the paternity list Khari Willis Jersey , Brandon Crawford’s sleep pattern is slowly getting back to normal. His swing is looking smooth, too.

Crawford doubled twice, tripled and drove in three runs, leading the San Francisco Giants over the San Diego Padres 5-3 on Saturday.

The breakout game came less than a week after Crawford’s wife gave birth to the couple’s fourth child, son Bryson.

”You just know him, you know it’s a matter of time,” manager Bruce Bochy said. ”I’m sure his timing was a little bit off. Today he found it. We needed it.”

Crawford went into the game mired in an 0-for-18 funk. He walked in the second inning, hit a triple off Matt Strahm in the fourth and doubled in a pair of runs off Adam Cimber (3-4) in the sixth. Crawford also doubled and scored in the eighth.

”Even though I may not have looked that good at times, I did feel like I was seeing the ball well,” Crawford said. ”My timing might have just been a little bit off. It was just a matter of squaring the ball up, finding a hole, hitting it to a spot they couldn’t catch it.”

San Francisco’s Gold Glove-winning shortstop also helped turn three of the Giants’ four double plays. He made a throwing error in the ninth that allowed a run to score.

Crawford was bothered as much by the error as he was excited about breaking out of his batting slump.

”It’s frustrating, I’m not going to lie,” Crawford said. ”Obviously I like going 3-for-3 any day, but I want to be able to make those plays in the ninth inning also.”

Brandon Belt singled twice and Gorkys Hernandez added an RBI double as the Giants won their fifth in seven games.

Reyes Moronta (3-1) retired three batters.

Hunter Renfroe homered for San Diego. The Padres have dropped six of seven.

San Diego manager Andy Green was forced to scramble after starting pitcher Jordan Lyles was scratched from the lineup with right forearm tightness minutes before he was scheduled to take the mound in the bottom of the first.

”Just kind of my read on his body and the way he was talking and the way he was feeling was that it wasn’t worth putting him on the mound today Josh Allen Jersey ,” Green said. ”We’re very hopeful that it’s just one of those things where by keeping him off the mound today we preserved the rest of his season.”

Strahm, who started last Sunday in Atlanta, replaced Lyles and pitched into the fourth inning. Strahm gave up two hits and left after yielding Crawford’s RBI triple.

Cimber, the fourth San Diego pitcher, allowed both runs in the sixth.

Hernandez doubled in Nick Hundley in the seventh to make it 4-1.

Giants starter Andrew Suarez gave up one run in 5 2/3 innings.

Things got a little chippy in the seventh when Andrew McCutchen was hit by a pitch from San Diego reliever Phil Maton. McCutchen took exception after the previous pitch was high and inside, and he glared at Maton for several moments. Padres A.J. Ellis stepped in front of McCutchen and spoke to the hitter briefly before McCutchen walked to first base.

Earlier in the week, the Giants and Miami Marlins exchanged allegations of beanballs during their three-game series at AT&T Park.

ROSTER SHUFFLE

The Giants optioned left fielder Mac Williamson to Triple-A Sacramento. Williamson was one of San Francisco’s hottest hitters before suffering a concussion in late April but has struggled at the plate since returning. Austin Slater was recalled and will join a crowded depth chart in left. Alen Hanson started Saturday, with Hunter Pence and Austin Jackson also in the mix.

TRAINER’S ROOM

Giants: RHP Johnny Cueto (elbow inflammation) was scheduled make his first rehab start with Sacramento on Saturday night. … RHP Jeff Samardzija (shoulder tightness) will join Cueto in Sacramento and will throw around 90 pitches in a rehab start Tuesday.

UP NEXT

Giants RHP Dereck Rodriguez (2-1, 4.56 ERA) makes his third home start since joining the rotation. Rodriguez is unbeaten in his two previous starts at AT&T Park while allowing four runs in 11 innings. Eric Lauer (3-4, 5.47) pitches for the Padres. The left-hander has yielded three earned runs or fewer in his previous four starts.

FLORHAM PARK, N.J. (AP) — Sam Darnold is wrapping up his rookie season with glimpses of greatness.First, Aaron Rodgers.Next, Tom Brady.The New York Jets quarterback’s final two opponents are among the best to play the position, and Darnold appreciates the situation he’s in. After a solid performance last week in an overtime loss to Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers , Darnold will head to New England to face Brady and the playoff-bound Patriots on Sunday.“Yeah Parris Campbell Jersey , there’s always something there whenever you’re playing Brady, guys like Rodgers and everything like that,” Darnold said. “For me, I grew up watching those two play and dominate, so at the same time, I’m not just going to ignore the fact that I’m playing those guys. I know that I am and I want to step up, but at the same time, every single game, that’s my mentality.”It has been an up-and-down first season for the No. 3 overall draft pick. But the arrow has been pointing up the last three weeks.Since returning from a foot injury that sidelined him for three games, Darnold has been one of the NFL’s most efficient quarterbacks. He’s 64 of 97 (66 percent) for 764 yards and six TDs with just one INT in his last three outings.“I think he plays one play at a time,” offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates said. “I think he’s good from start to finish. The guy doesn’t change, (he’s) by no means a roller coaster. He doesn’t get up at certain moments. He takes every play like it’s the most important play. If it’s a handoff in the run game or a pass, I just think he’s steady and when the big plays present themselves, he’s able to hit them.”Perhaps the most glaring improvement in recent weeks has been his ability to successfully operate the play-action game after primarily running a shotgun-style in college at USC.That has added an exciting new element to Darnold’s game, and one that Bates believes the young QB will continue to improve upon.“When you’re in shotgun http://www.coltsauthorizedshops.com/aut … eke-jersey , you’re watching the defense, you’re seeing the looks and for a split-second you’re taking your eyes off and it’s a complete 180,” Bates said. “I think you’ve just got to get used to it. You have to be able to flip your eyes and recognize if it’s (Cover) 2 or if it’s (Cover) 3 and Sam is getting faster, he’s recognizing the coverages as soon as he flips.”Darnold acknowledged it took him some time to adjust to running some play-action, and thinks he has noticeably improved.“But I think it’s also a credit to our offensive line, our running backs and our receivers really in the run game,” he said. “Being able to set up the pass with the run is the biggest thing in that area and I think we’ve been doing a good job at that.”That’s the type of thing that has made the Jets and their fans so optimistic despite the team’s dismal 4-11 record.Darnold was drafted to be a potential franchise-type quarterback, and he has shown signs of building toward that after a miserable midseason stretch just before he was sidelined. No longer does he appear as tentative during plays or have “happy feet” when facing pressure.The California kid is cool and confident, and that’s certainly a building block for next season and beyond.“I’m going to keep stacking wins as long as I can keep trying to continue to build and continue to grow as a player, continue to try to be as consistent as possible playing this position,” Darnold said. “That’s what you want as a player, as a coach, as well. You just want your quarterback to be the most consistent player on the field and that’s what I try to strive to be every single week.”Darnold has attributed much of his recent success to watching veteran Josh McCown’s preparation while he was sidelined. The 21-year-old youngster studied how the 39-year-old veteran went about his business leading into games.Darnold also spoke last week about how he often viewed film of Rodgers and the Packers while in high school and college, and Brady’s work was also constantly in his rotation.And, after Sunday Khari Willis Jersey , Darnold will be able to put up his own film — with Rodgers and Brady as his opponents — in the offseason.“You want to look at it and be like, ‘Aw, man, you know, I’m just going to go out there and do what I do,'” he said. “But at the same time, you want to play well when you’re going up against those guys. Not that I don’t want to play well when I’m not going up against those guys, but there is a little something extra there.”NOTES: K Jason Myers (left hip), CB Morris Claiborne (shoulder/ankle), LB Kevin Pierre-Louis (shoulder) and WRs Quincy Enunwa (ankle) and Jermaine Kearse (Achilles tendon) didn’t practice. Coach Todd Bowles said the Jets have worked out kickers in case Myers can’t go. … CB Trumaine Johnson was back at practice after being held out Wednesday for what Bowles called “an in-house matter.” … LB Jordan Jenkins (ankle) was limited.
