The final matchup between Madison Bumgarner and Clayton Kershaw at Dodger Stadium on Vin Scully's watch took place on Monday night, and it was a contest worthy of that distinction—a taut pitcher's duel that for seven innings featured only one improbably scratched-out run scored by San Francisco in the third inning. But the game turned when Bumgarner blew his cool in the seventh inning, and with the Giants' rickety bullpen coughing up the lead by failing to retire a batter in the ninth inning, their hopes of winning the NL West have all but vanished.
For those seven innings, Bumgarner stifled the Dodgers, yielding just one hit and hitting two batters.
