ATLANTA - Madison Bumgarner definitely had no-hit stuff, even if the Major League Baseball record book said he didn't.
Bumgarner threw a seven-inning no-hitter, an achievement that won’t officially count but completed a dominant day of Arizona Diamondbacks pitching for a 7-0 win over the Atlanta Braves and a doubleheader sweep Sunday.
Could he have kept the magic going for a nine-inning game?
"I don’t know. There’s too many variables," Bumgarner said. "If it worked for seven, it’s hard to imagine it not working for two more."
After Zac Gallen tossed a one-hitter to win the opener 5-0, Bumgarner did even better.
