Madison Bumgarner strikes out 11, knocks in a run, and is generally excellent

For the second night in a row, a Giants starter struck out 11 Rockies and gave up two runs. What made tonight more memorable (other than the Giants winning) is that Madison Bumgarner’s 11 strikeouts pushed him past Matt Cain on the Giants all-time strikeout list. Bumgarner is up to 1695 strikeouts now, and there’s a non-zero chance he’ll pass Tim Lincecum in his next start.

Giants All-Time Strikeout Leaders

Bumgarner has already surpassed Cain and Lincecum in WAR, and unless he’s traded before his next one or two starts, he’ll top them all in strikeouts, too.
