The 2016 NL Wild Card Game offered a premium pitching matchup, and boy has it delivered. Noah Syndergaard and Madison Bumgarner traded zeroes through the first five innings, and never fell into any real danger.
The scoreless tie was nearly broken in the sixth inning. Denard Span poked a single back up the middle -- it was the Giants first hit of the game -- then Brandon Belt clobbered a long fly ball to center field that appeared to have extra bases written all over it.
