Madison Bumgarner - S - Giants

Madison Bumgarner gave up just two singles over seven scoreless innings Friday in a 6-0 win over the Braves.

Bumgarner stuck out 10 and walked just one batter in the victory. He didn't give up his first hit until a single by Chris Johnson in the bottom of the sixth inning. The southpaw had allowed 12 runs in 17 2/3 innings over his last three starts, so this was a resounding step in the right direction. He'll look to keep it going against the Padres next week at home.

Madison Bumgarner took the loss to the Cardinals in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader after giving up five runs in six innings.

With the rest of the rotation in disarray, it has to be very discouraging for the Giants that Matt Cain and Bumgarner combined to give up 12 runs today. Bumgarner is 0-3 in his last four starts, with his ERA climbing from 2.18 to 3.46 in that span. We don't expect his struggles to last, so it's best to keep him active in all formats.

Madison Bumgarner - S - Giants

Madison Bumgarner was charged with four runs on four hits and five walks over 6 2/3 innings in Monday's loss to the Athletics.

The free passes were obviously the big issue for the left-hander, as he gave up just one extra-base hit and struck out six. His last walk of the game led to his exit, and George Kontos allowed both of Bumgarner's runners to score on a Yoenis Cespedes double. Bumgarner has had a few hiccups of late but still boasts a 3.12 ERA and 1.04 WHIP this season. He'll try to bounce back this weekend in St. Louis.

Madison Bumgarner was knocked around for nine runs (seven earned) over 4 2/3 innings in a loss to the Rockies.

Bumgarner blew leads of 4-0 and 5-4, including a grand slam by Jordan Pacheco in a five-run fifth inning. The seven earned runs allowed were a season-high and fell one short of his career-high. The southpaw struck out four and walked a pair in the loss. Bumgarner has been money in seven out of his nine starts this season, so we're expecting better results next time out against the Nationals at home.

Madison Bumgarner limited the Braves to one run over seven innings Saturday in a 10-1 victory.

It was a dominant bounceback effort from the 23-year-old left-hander, who allowed five runs to the Phillies in his previous start. Bumgarner struck out 11 batters on Saturday and yielded only four Atlanta hits. He now boasts a 4-1 record, 2.18 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 54/13 K/BB ratio through 53 2/3 innings of work this season and should keep rolling next week against the Rockies.

Madison Bumgarner suffered through his worst start of the season Monday, yielding five runs over six innings in a loss to the Phillies.

He struck out seven but gave up eight hits and walked a pair. Bumgarner certainly wasn’t sharp, but he had issues with Alfonso Marquez’s strike zone multiple times throughout the night. The left-hander had allowed just seven runs over his first six starts this season. He’ll take a still-terrific 2.31 ERA and 0.94 WHIP into this weekend’s start against the Braves.

Madison Bumgarner - S - Giants

Madison Bumgarner blanked the Diamondbacks for seven innings, allowing three hits, in Tuesday's start.

The Giants never scored while Bumgarner was in the game, so he remained stuck at 3-0 for the third straight start. He hasn't allowed more than two runs in any of his six outings this season.

Madison Bumgarner - S - Giants

Madison Bumgarner suffered a poor luck no-decision Wednesday, holding the Diamondbacks to one run while striking out seven over 7 1/3 frames.

He gave up just five hits and walked one. The lone tally against him was registered when A.J. Pollock singled a run home in the eighth, chasing Bumgarner from the game. The left-hander still hasn't lost this season, but he's picked up two straight no-decisions despite allowing just three runs while striking out 17 over 13 1/3 frames. He'll take on the D'Backs again next week, this time in Arizona.

Madison Bumgarner - S - Giants

Madison Bumgarner struck out 10 batters while allowing two runs in six innings Friday in a no-decision against the Padres.

It was the ninth double-digit strikeout game of his career. Bumgarner limited the Padres just four hits and didn't walk a batter. He had a shaky first inning, but retired 15 out of the next 16 batters he faced until he gave up a game-tying solo homer to Chase Headley with two outs in the sixth inning. The 24-year-old southpaw has allowed two runs or less in each of his first four starts and owns a quality 2.05 ERA and 27/7 K/BB ratio in 26 1/3 innings. If he can maintain his velocity for the entire season, he could finish as a top-15 starting pitcher in fantasy leagues.
Apr 20 - 2:04 AM
Madison Bumgarner - S - Giants

Madison Bumgarner moved to 3-0 on the season after allowing two runs in 6 2/3 innings Saturday in a 3-2 win over the Cubs.

It was solid effort for Bumgarner, who held the Cubs off the board until he gave up a two-run homer to Dioner Navarro with two outs in the seventh. The bullpen managed to hang on from there. Bumgarner fanned six and walked a pair in the victory and owns a 1.77 ERA through his first three starts. He could be poised to join the upper-echelon of fantasy starters this season.
Apr 13 - 4:27 PM
Madison Bumgarner - S - Giants

Madison Bumgarner walked five but limited the damage to two runs over 5 2/3 innings in Monday’s 4-2 victory over the Rockies.

One of the walks was intentional, but it was still a wild night for a guy that’s displayed great control since arriving in the big leagues. However, he struck out five and the only extra-base hit he gave up was a solo blast to Carlos Gonzalez. Bumgarner will carry a nifty 1.32 ERA and 0.88 WHIP into Wrigley Field this weekend.
Apr 9 - 1:14 AM
Madison Bumgarner - S - Giants

Madison Bumgarner pitched eight scoreless innings and combined with Sergio Romo on a two-hitter in the Giants' 3-0 win over the Dodgers on Tuesday.

Bumgarner made it look easy tonight, throwing 76 of his 101 pitches for strikes. He walked none and struck out six. Of course, it didn't hurt that the Dodgers lineup featured Jerry Hairston Jr. leading off, Luis Cruz batting fifth and Justin Sellers in the eighth spot. Giants starters have thrown 14 scoreless innings so far. We wonder how long Tim Lincecum will keep that streak going on Wednesday.
Apr 3 - 1:33 AM
Madison Bumgarner - S - Giants

Madison Bumgarner pitched five strong innings Saturday, allowing just one run in the Giants loss to the Reds.

The southpaw allowed just two hits in his five innings, lowering his spring ERA to 1.84 in the process. It's hard to remember Bumgarner is still only 23. He's continued to improve in each of his three seasons with the Giants and his best days may still be ahead of him, a scary proposition for opponents.

Madison Bumgarner blanked the Rangers over four innings Monday.

Bumgarner hasn't been all that efficient this spring, so it was nice to see him locked in on Monday, as he limited the Rangers to just one hit and one walk. He struck out four. The 23-year-old southpaw is a top-20 starter in mixed fantasy leagues and could get even better if he can maintain his velocity for an entire season.
