The Giants dropped another close game to the Dodgers tonight, losing 3-1 behind Madison Bumgarner’s third start of the season.
Bumgarner was solid, but not efficient. He threw 112 pitches, the most by a Giants starter this season, but only went six innings, allowing all three runs with only three strike outs and four walks. The reason the pitch count was so high was that he allowed nearly a dozen full-counts.
Meanwhile, Alex Wood had a strong performance behind even stronger defense. Wood went only five and two thirds innings, but four of those were hit-less, leaving with only two hits and two walks.
