San Francisco Giants starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner throws to the Colorado Rockies during the sixth inning of a baseball game Friday, May 6, 2016, in San Francisco. “Innings like that are always fun”.
His fielding-independent pitching also stands at 3.41.
It’s the most runs scored in an inning by any team since Arizona scored 13 in the fourth against Pittsburgh on April 11, 2010.
“It’s very surprising”, Arenado said. Here we’ll look the top performers of the night, show you a must-see highlight and rundown the scoreboard. “They’re probably my favorite team to beat”.
Despite giving up five runs, Bettis was able to make it through the sixth inning, becoming the first Rockies pitcher not named Jorge De La Rosa to work six or more innings in six consecutive starts since Tyler Matzek in 2014. Seven of the nine did both. That was a big three-run homer that put us right back in the game, and the feeling that we had the momentum again … “The approach was good all night”.
Despite an early four-run Rockies lead, Bumgarner settled in and slung past Colorado for a “Say Hey” 6-4 victory in front of a sellout crowd of 41,358. He then gave way to right-hander Cory Gearrin, who surrendered a single to Arenado but struck out Mark Reynolds and coaxed an inning-ending ground ball out of Rayburn.
Rusin had a 14 2/3 innings scoreless streak come to an end, though Colorado’s big fifth made it a moot point.
Madison Bumgarner didn’t give up much after the second inning, and he left with one out in the eighth after allowing four runs on seven hits with ten strikeouts and just one walk. He struck out 10 in 7 ⅓ innings – the 26th career game the tall lefty punched out double-digit K’s. Despite leaving with a 10-run advantage, he was not eligible for the win because he failed to finish the fifth.
The Giants rallied for four runs in the bottom of the fifth, with Rusin taken out after giving up a two-run single to Gregor Blanco. Brandon Belt added an insurance run in the seventh with a double to drive in Duffy.
Trailing 3-0 in their first at-bat, Span doubled down the right field line in his first at-bat, with Matt Duffy hitting a singe to put runners at first and third. San Francisco 1B Brandon Belt is 16-for-39 with six extra-base hits and 12 RBIs over his last 14 games. 2.
Rockies: LHP Jorge De La Rosa (groin) will throw a bullpen session at the Rockies’ spring training facilities in Scottsdale. IF Danny Descalso (left hand) had three hits in six at-bats in an extended spring training game Thursday. He was expected to test the injury in batting practice. He’ll start a rehab assignment with Triple-A Sacramento on Sunday and might be cleared after two to three appearances. RHP Sergio Romo has been playing long toss from 90 feet and will throw from the mound on Monday.

It took Madison Bumgarner a little while to get going a year ago after turning in a magical 2014 postseason performance, but he figured it out by the beginning of May. The Giants are 2-8 in their last 10 during game 3 of a series and 5-1 in Cuetos last 6 starts.
