SAN FRANCISCO — Madison Bumgarner looked like a pitcher ready for a playoff push Tuesday night in a 4-2 win over the Colorado Rockies at Oracle Park.
Coming off a poor start against the Dodgers, Bumgarner (4-7) gave up two earned runs through six innings with three walks and 11 strikeouts. The smart money has Bumgarner being dealt to a contender before the July 31 deadline.
The Giants (34-44) got perfect relief help (nine up, nine down) from Sam Dyson, Tony Watson and Will Smith, the latter with his 21st save in 21 opportunities. Chi Chi Gonzalez (0-1), in his first game since 2016 after undergoing Tommy John surgery, was the losing pitcher.
