Sacramento Notes:

  • Brandon Crawford made his first rehab appearance, going 0-for-1 with a walk, but also an error in the field.  He played five innings.
  • Isan Díaz picked up his 21st home run of the season on a 1-for-4 day.  Díaz’s July was his best month of the season, as he hit .297/.390/.538 with four doubles and six home runs, and he kicks off his August with another big hit.
  • Austin Dean was also 1-for-4 with a home run, his 12th of the season.  Dean also had his best month in July, batting .321/.433/.393, but he had only four doubles and no home runs in the month.  He also had only one in June.
  • Andrew Knapp’s home run streak ended, but he went 2-for-4 with his third double with Sacramento.  Knapp’s run in Sacramento through eight games has him batting .419/.455/.903, with three doubles and four home runs, and it may have helped convince the Giants to trade catcher Curt Casali.
