Madison Bumgarner throws one-hit masterpiece, Giants sweep Diamondbacks

The Giants have the best record in baseball at the All-Star break, and Madison Bumgarner has never been better.

In the final game of the first half of the 2016 season, Madison Bumgarner threw a one-hit shutout to complete a three-game sweep of the Diamondbacks. The win helped the Giants improve to 57-33, which is the best record in baseball.

There are ways to make that opening paragraph better. It could have been a no-hitter. It could have been a perfect game. It could have been a four-game sweep. Could have been a four-game sweep against the Dodgers.
