Madison Bumgarner Gem Leads Giants In Rout of Mets

San Francisco Giants lefty Madison Bumgarner twirled a two-hit gem and Hunter Pence homered twice to lead the San Francisco Giants to a 9-0 rout over the New York Mets.

Bumgarner struck out 10 and walked one in his second career shutout, tossing just 94 pitches.

Mets starter Bartolo Colon (10-9) was going for win No. 200 allowed six runs and eight hits in 4 2/3 innings.

Pence’s two-run shot in the third was a line drive that went off the railing above the moved-in fence in left field and homered again in the ninth.

Bumgarner helped his own cause when he singled and scored his first of two runs on Pence’s double in the fifth.

With the win, only their third in the last 10 games, the Giants remain three games behind the first place Los Angeles Dodgers in the National League West.
