Madison Bumgarner fans 12 in six innings as Giants win big
San Francisco Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner dominated the Chicago Cubs in Thursday's win.
Bumgarner allowed just four baserunners -- two hits and two walks -- and struck out 12 over six innings. He added another hit at the plate to raise his average to .262, which is higher than two of San Francisco's position players in the lineup for this one.
Bumgarner is having a career year, on pace for new career-bests in FIP, strikeouts-per-nine-innings wnr walks-per-nine-innings. The outing lowers his FIP to 2.75, which ranks 10th among all starting pitchers. His 2.36 nERD is good enough for ninth. We have him slotted for a 3.41 ERA and 1.07 WHIP the rest of the way.
