[AZ Central] Madison Bumgarner turns his best start of the year in latest Diamondbacks loss - Bumgarner was ahead in the count often. And for perhaps the first time this season he was able to put hitters away with relative ease. Bumgarner faced 18 hitters on Sunday. Against 14 of them, he was ahead in the count after three pitches or had already recorded an out on three pitches or less. “We made a lot of good pitches,” Bumgarner said. “Still made some mistakes. Nobody is going to go through an entire game without (any), but the less you make the less chance you have of them hurting you, too.
