When the Cincinnati Reds hosted the San Francisco Giants for a four-game series May 3 through 6 at Great American Ball Park, Madison Bumgarner was the only Giants starter the Reds didn't face.
So we had to wait until Sunday's series finale at Oracle Park between the two teams - just days later, thanks to a scheduling quirk - for the latest chapter of a beef between Bumgarner and Reds outfielder Yasiel Puig that's been going on for years after the two faced off as National League West rivals while Puig played his first six MLB seasons for the Dodgers.
