Madison Bumgarner Smokin Hot

San Francisco Giants

Did you see Madison Bumgarner go through the Cincinnati Reds lineup like it was a revolving door? He was a freakin Machine last night.  Giants pitchers have been shutting down opponents in historic fashion of late and Mad Bum kept it going last night with a complete game, one hit, two walk shutout of the NL Central division leaders.  He was making it look almost too easy.  

Bumgarner (10-4) struck out eight and walked two in winning his fifth straight decision. San Francisco moved alone into the NL West lead for the first time this year.

The Giants pitching staff lead the league with 10 shutouts this season.

With the way the Giants are pitching these days the rest of the league has been put on notice. The Reds had their ace Johnny Cueto on the mound, but that didn't matter.  The Giants hitters made him look pedestrian and it would be Mad Bum who'd be looking the All-Star part. Congratulations Giants!
