Crawford powers Giants past punchless Pirates

Madison Bumgarner threw a four-hit shutout and Brandon Crawford belted a grand slam to lift San Francisco to an 8-0 win over Pittsburgh in the National League wild-card game on Wednesday.

By beating the Pirates, the Giants move on to face the National League East champion Washington Nationals in a best-of-five Division Series, with the opener set for Friday in Washington.

Bumgarner struck out 10 and Crawford homered with the bases loaded and none out in the fourth inning off Edinson Volquez - silencing the crowd of 40,629 at PNC Park.
