Giants' Madison Bumgarner: Drops tough-luck loss to D-backs

Bumgarner (3-9) allowed two runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out six over seven innings in Saturday's loss to Arizona.

After allowing 11 runs in 11 innings over his past two starts, this was a strong showing from the lefty. Bumgarner sports a rock-solid 3.48 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 8.4 K/9 for the campaign, so while it's been a discouraging season overall, he remains a go-to option moving forward. A daunting road start against the Dodgers and a favorable home game against the Padres project to be Bumgarner's final two matchups of the season.
