SAN FRANCISCO -- Madison Bumgarner shut down the Orioles for seven innings and finally got some assistance from the Giants offense, as San Francisco bounced back from a series-opening loss to beat Baltimore, 6-2, at AT&T Park on Saturday night.
The Giants' offense benefited from a pair of RBI base hits from Denard Span, who drove in four runs, as well as a two-run home run from Brandon Belt in the seventh as they tallied more runs than in their three previous games combined. And a night after the Orioles smashed 11 hits against Matt Cain, Bumgarner yielded just three while striking out eight.
