Bumgarner dazzles as Giants beat Cubs, avoid sweep - MLB - Yahoo! Sports


It's sad, but when I heard Bumgarner pitched a shut-out, my first thought was "Did we win?"

Luckily we did.

Bumgarner dazzles as Giants beat Cubs, avoid sweep - MLB - Yahoo! Sports:

"SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—His team practically desperate, Madison Bumgarner(notes) delivered a boost that could not have come at a better time for the defending World Series champions.

NL West-leading Arizona arrives for a crucial weekend series with the Giants starting Friday.

“We needed to win today in the worst way possible,” newly activated outfielder Pat Burrell(notes) said.

Bumgarner matched his career high with 11 strikeouts, Jeff Keppinger(notes) and Pablo Sandoval(notes) hit consecutive home runs in the fourth inning, and San Francisco beat the Chicago Cubs 4-0 on Wednesday to snap a three-game skid and avoid a sweep."


There are two ways to conquer and enslave a nation. One is by the sword. The other is by debt. --- John Adams, 1826
