San Francisco (AFP) - Left-hander Madison Bumgarner was perfect through seven innings before settling for a one-hit shut-out in the San Francisco Giants 8-0 victory over the San Diego Padres.

Bumgarner on Saturday had retired the first 23 batters he faced when Padres pinch-hitter Melvin Upton came to the plate with two outs in the eighth inning.
