Giants hang on to reward Bumgarner
Buster Posey connects on Carlos Villanueva's pitch and belts it over the left-field wall to extend the Giants' advantage to 5-2SAN FRANCISCO -- Madison Bumgarner delivered a typical performance to halt an atypical losing streak Monday night as the San Francisco Giants outlasted the San Diego Padres, 5-4.
The Giants had lost the last three games started by Bumgarner, who personally absorbed the decision in two of those defeats. Never had they dropped four consecutive outings of Bumgarner's. It didn't happen this time, either, as the left-hander struck out nine in 6 2/3 innings while allowing two runs and six hits.
