Justin Crawford's 2nd Career Walk-Off Hit Gives Phillies Win over Giants in Game 1 of Doubleheader

  • On Thursday, April 30, 2026, rookie Justin Crawford hit a walk-off infield single in the ninth inning, lifting the Philadelphia Phillies to a 3-2 victory over the San Francisco Giants in the first game of a doubleheader.
  • Interim manager Don Mattingly has guided the team to two straight wins since replacing Rob Thomson, who was fired on Tuesday, marking their first consecutive victories this year.
  • Kyle Schwarber launched his 350th career homer in the first inning, while Bryson Stott tied the game with a ninth-inning triple. Starter Cristopher Sánchez allowed two early runs but pitched effectively through the seventh.
  • The victory improved Philadelphia to an 11-19 record as the team prepares for the doubleheader's second game. Crawford has now recorded both of the Phillies' walk-off wins this season.
  • For the nightcap, Philadelphia will deploy a bullpen game with Nolan Hoffman joining as the 27th man, while the San Francisco Giants are scheduled to start RHP Adrian Houser.
