Brandon Crawford exits game early with apparent injury

Brandon Crawford came out of the Giants’ game against Dodgers on Tuesday with what looked to be an injury

The shortstop had trouble getting to first base on a single in the eighth inning, grabbing near his right upper leg, groin and hip.

Crawford was pulled from the game and pitcher Jeff Samardzija, once a college football player, pinch-ran for him.

Crawford is already due to miss the next two games while on the three-day bereavement list. He is set to attend funeral services in the Los Angeles area for his sister-in-law, Jennifer Pippin, who died unexpectedly after suffering an asthma attack.
