Giants rout Braves by Bumgarner's excellent performance

Madison Bumgarner pitched into Andrew McCutchen Camo Jersey the eighth inning, Kelby Tomlinson drove in three runs and the San Francisco Giants beat the Atlanta Braves 6-1 on Wednesday night.
Bumgarner struck out nine in 7-1/3 dominant innings as the Giants defeated the Braves 6-1.
"What a great job he did," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He had really good focus, and he helped save some guys in the bullpen who needed the rest."
The left-hander is 4-1 in five starts at Atlanta, including the clinching victory in the 2010 National League Division Series.

"He's pitched well about everywhere http://www.authenticphilliesshop.com/authentic-6-ryan-howard-jersey.html. He's one of the best," Bochy said. "But I'm sure he's a little amped up here with his relatives coming down from North Carolina."
Bumgarner (12-6), last year's World Series MVP and a three-time All-Star, allowed seven hits, one run and struck out nine in 7 1-3 innings. Just two baserunners made it into scoring position against the big left-hander.
Bumgarner gave up a leadoff single to Nick Markakis in the first and retired 10 straight before Chris Johnson singled in the fourth.
Tomlinson's opposite-field single made it 2-0 in the second, and San Francisco was up 3-0 in the fourth when Ehire Adrianza doubled and scored on Tomlinson's single up the middle.
Duffy and Pence drove in their runs in the Giants' three-run seventh.
Bumgarner gave up Mariners Robinson Cano Jersey Ryan Lavarnway's RBI double in the seventh and left in the eighth after Eury Perez's infield single.
Bumgarner's performance reversed a personal season-long trend on the road. He had gone 6-4 with a 4.50 ERA in 10 starts away from home, a considerable contrast from the 11-4 record and 2.22 ERA he had in 18 road starts last year.
"I don't necessarily think having family here is the key to how I pitch (in Atlanta), but there was quite a few people who made the trip," said Bumgarner.

"There usually is, because it's not too far of a trip. But for whatever reason, we've had a pretty good run of success here."
Giants second baseman Kelby Tomlinson, making http://www.officialmlbgiantsshop.com/authentic-15-bruce-bochy-jersey.html his first major league start, drove in three runs with two singles while
catcher Buster Posey also had hits in his first three at-bats to back Bumgarner.
The Giants (59-48) remained two games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West.
