1. Madison Bumgarner gives up two runs, but he's still pretty good. Bumgarner was going for his seventh straight start with one earned run or fewer as he aimed for Christy Mathewson's club mark of eight such games in a row, accomplished way back in 1901. That was 24 years before zippers were first used on clothing! Anyway, Bumgarner saw his streak end, but he still had a great game, with eight strong innings in pitching the San Francisco Giants to a 3-2 win over the Brewers. Lucky for us, ESPN Stats & Info dug up another franchise mark: Bumgarner is the first Giants pitcher since Juan Marichal in 1965-66 to record 11 consecutive starts of two earned runs or fewer.
