Side tightness forces Crawford to leave game

"I had to take Crawford out," Bochy said. "His left side tightened up on him. The last swing he took in that long at-bat, it tightened up quite a bit. It wasn't worth the risk to keep playing."

The Giants skipper added he considers Crawford day to day.

"There's a little tightness," Crawford said after the game. "I didn't want to risk any further injury. We'll see how it feels tomorrow."
