SAN FRANCISCO -- We write thousands of words about games like this one. Bruce Bochy needed just a few seconds to sum up his ace's day, though.
"Bum was Bum today," Bochy said.
Well, yeah. That pretty much nails it, but Bochy could make one change to that line. Bum has been Bum all month, not just today.
The left-hander just wrapped up a stretch that is sure to put another Player of the Month award in his locker. Bumgarner went 5-0 in five August starts, allowing six total runs and pitching at least six innings each time (he had two complete games).
