The Giants do not follow baseball's unwritten rule against "running up the score." They showed that once again Friday night.
And, once again, the team on the other end got annoyed.
San Francisco was leading Washington 7-1 with two outs in the top of the ninth inning when Brandon Crawford and Thairo Estrada pulled off a run-and-hit play on an 0-1 count. With Estrada running from first base, Crawford hit a looper to shallow left field that fell between three Nationals fielders.
