Madbum Leaves Early; Not Because He's Traded

Fluky game. Madison Bumgarner was the starting pitcher. And start he did, giving up a single. The second batter, Jose Martinez, hit a line shot that caught Maddy's pitching arm in the triceps at about 99 mph. He shook it off, gave up a run and pitched a scoreless second in spite of a big lump visible on the tv. But the swelling and, probably, stiffness got to him and he did not come out to pitch the 3rd. Madbum's short line: 2 IP, 2 K, 4 hits, 1 run. After the game, they reported nothing broken.

The Giants tied the game in the bottom of the 1st.
