Diamondbacks end season with hit parade in win over Rockies

By the Associated Press

Madison Bumgarner pitched five scoreless innings to win his first game for Arizona in his ninth and final start this season, and the Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 11-3 on Sunday to close disappointing years for both teams.

Bumgarner (1-4), a former World Series MVP for San Francisco, left the Giants as a free agent for an $85 million, five-year contract to pitch in the desert. The 31-year-old left-hander never got untracked, plagued by inconsistency and a month-long stint on the injured list with a mid-back strain.

Bumgarner allowed two hits with four strikeouts for first win since Sept.
