Madison Bumgarner did all he could to keep a couple of impressive streaks going Monday, but a one-man show wasn’t enough. The Giants were dominated by struggling lefty Jeff Locke in the first of four games at PNC Park, falling 1-0.
The shutout loss was the first for the Giants since May 10 and ended their eight-game winning streak. They had not lost a Bumgarner start since April 20, but the ace did his part, going the distance. The difference was an Erik Kratz solo homer that popped out of Angel Pagan’s glove at the wall in the fifth.
