Madison Bumgarner was back in action Tuesday and that's good for baseball fans everywhere (even you, Dodgers fans):
Bumgarner gave up two runs in six innings against a particularly weak Diamondbacks lineup (John Ryan Murphy hitting cleanup, three others with sub-.275 OBPs, plus journeyman Kristopher Negron just up from the minors). Really, opposing starting pitcher Patrick Corbin was one of the better hitters in the lineup. He didn't dominate with three strikeouts but also wasn't hit as hard as the eight hits might indicate. He gave up both runs in the second inning and escaped a first-and-third, no-out jam in the third with an out at home plate and a double play.
