Yesterday’s rain-outs pushed both Madison Bumgarner and Brandon Pfaadt back to this afternoon’s start against the Cubs in Mesa. MadBum worked the first four innings (with an asterisk there, as we’ll see), before Cole Sulzer struck out the side after a lead-off hit in the fifth. Brandon Pfaadt then took over and worked the last four frames. Bumgarner’s line shows 3.1 scoreless innings on two hits and two walks with four strikeouts. However, he had some serious help from Zach McAllister, who took over a bases loaded, one out situation in the second and cleared it up, before Madison returned in the third.
