SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) San Francisco Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner allowed four runs and seven hits over 3 2/3 innings and had an uneven outing during a rehab start with Triple-A Sacramento on Friday night.
The 2014 World Series MVP consistently clocked his fastball in the low 90s and was mostly crisp with his off-speed pitches but frequently fell behind in the count and got hit hard early. Bumgarner threw 62 pitches, 41 strikes.
Bumgarner also showed his infamous intensity, coming off the mound to glare at home plate umpire David Arrieta at one point in the first inning following a close pitch that was called a ball.
