Kiké Hernández hit a three-run homer to lead the NL West champion Dodgers past San Francisco 5-2 on Sunday.
SAN FRANCISCO -- Brandon Crawford brought his four kids into the ballpark for some throwing practice earlier this weekend, knowing they would play a key role in his special Sunday send-off.
Crawford went 0 for 4 with two strikeouts and batted leadoff for just the second time in his career to give him more chances to be celebrated, ultimately walking off the field to huge cheers in the top of the ninth as rookie prospect Marco Luciano replaced him. Fans cheered him at every chance, jumping to their feet before he led off in the bottom of the first — and Crawford tipped his hat several directions acknowledging the crowd before stepping into the batter's box. He struck out swinging.
Los Angeles won the season series 7-6 to reach 100 victories for a third straight year and fourth time in a row during a full season dating to 2019 — excluding the virus-shortened 2020 campaign.
