The San Francisco Giants and shortstop Brandon Crawford agreed to a two-year, $32 million contract extension, the team announced Friday.

The extension, which carries a base salary of $16 million for each season, runs through the 2023 season.

Shortstop Brandon Crawford hit a leadoff double and the San Francisco Giants beat the New York Mets 3-2.

With their win, the Giants improved to 4-1 against the Mets in the last 10 days.

DeGrom was transferred to the 60-day injured list last weekend and is not eligible to return until Sept. 13. Scott said Tuesday that it was unlikely deGrom would be ready by that date, even if he resumed throwing this week.

Regarding De Grom's return, the Mets' manager offered his thoughts: "We haven't mapped out a progression yet on how things are going to go, but at least being able to play ball today is great news for us[...] We'll see where we go from here," said manager Luis Rosas.

 New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom played catch at Citi Field on Wednesday after an MRI showed improvement in the right forearm strain that has sidelined him since July 7, while Noah Syndergaard will begin a minor league rehab assignment with High-A Brooklyn on Thursday.

It was deGrom's first time playing catch since being advised not to pitch altogether four weeks ago.

 Mets shortstop Francisco Lindor has been activated from the injured list and was placed in the lineup Tuesday night after missing five weeks with a right oblique strain.
 New York manager Luis Rojas confirmed Lindor's return before a game against the Major League-leading San Francisco Giants.

Lindor struggled early in the season after being acquired from Cleveland and signing a 10-year, $341 million contract. 
He was hitting better before the injury, 
batting .288 with three home runs and an .875 OPS in his last 20 games before going on the injured list on July 17.

The situation for the Mets does not look hopeful as they have won just two of their last 10 games and are currently out of contention for the NL postseason with a 61-63 record after leading the NL East Division for nearly three months. Given that, controversy has been swirling in and around the team, to which first-year owner Steve Cohen criticized New York's hitters on Twitter last week, and Lindor said Saturday that his hitting warranted criticism.

"We've been getting that message all year," Lindor said. "We really haven't hit all year. I haven't played. I haven't. Simply put, I haven't done what I'm here to do when it comes to the offensive side.

"Defense, they can't talk to me. Running bases, they can't talk to me either. But offensively, yeah, criticize me. Say anything. You're right. You're right. I'm with them. I haven't looked."

Lindor will pair with newcomer Javier Baez in the middle of the frame for the first time. Acquired from the Chicago Cubs at the trade deadline, Baez returned Sunday after missing 11 days with a back injury.

The San Francisco Giants, despite being underdogs in the National League, have been the surprise team. Very few fans bet on this team's qualification. This is due to the fact that they were in a division that includes the reigning World Series champions, the Dodgers, and the San Diego Padres, however, the Giants remain the leaders of the West Division and everything indicates that they will be the first to obtain their ticket to the playoffs.

According to a U.S. media report, the Giants have every chance of being the first MLB team to qualify for the postseason. Although it is not yet an official fact that they have secured their spot, all the numbers point to the fact that they have 100% assured their place in the 2021 playoffs.

Despite their good numbers the team does not have the odds in their favor, the San Francisco team is not among the favorites to win this year's World Series. According to statistics the Giants have a 4.2% chance of winning the championship.

The third game of the series between Mets and Giants will also be played at Citi Field, the first game the Giants put in the first blow of authority and in this third game they want to get up.

Citi Field is a stadium located in Queens, New York City. It was completed in 2009 and is home to the New York Mets, a Major League Baseball team. It seats 41,922 spectators and was built as a replacement for Shea Stadium.
