Ruf has priceless reaction to amazing Crawford double play

Share

It shouldn't come as any surprise to Giants fans who have watched him man the infield for a decade, but Darin Ruf still appeared to be blown away after Brandon Crawford's incredible diving grab to start a double play in the top of the sixth inning of Friday night's win over the Washington Nationals.

Not only did Crawford cover a remarkable amount of ground to put his glove in front of the grounder, but he perfectly flipped the ball to Donovan Solano, ensuring the Giants could turn two.

The Giants held a one-run lead at the time and ended up hanging on for a 5-3 win at Oracle Park.

Crawford's defensive brilliance is no secret across MLB, but even his peers and teammates still can be left stunned by the plays the 34-year-old continues to make.
