Braves No Match For Giants Madison Bumgarner
ATLANTA (AP) – Madison Bumgarner pitched into the eighth inning, Kelby Tomlinson drove in three runs and the San Francisco Giants beat the Atlanta Braves 6-1 on Wednesday night.
Matt Duffy added a two-run double and Hunter Pence had an RBI single for San Francisco, which has won 16 of 21.
Bumgarner (12-6), last year’s World Series MVP and a three-time All-Star, allowed seven hits, one run and struck out nine in 7 1-3 innings. Just two baserunners made it into scoring position against the big left-hander.
Williams Perez (4-2) allowed 10 hits, two walks and six runs in six-plus innings for the Braves, who have lost 11 of 14.
Bumgarner allowed a leadoff single to Nick Markakis in the first and retired 10 straight before Chris Johnson singled in the fourth.
