Giants | SP Madison Bumgarner pounds the zone against Nationals

San Francisco SP Madison Bumgarner put up another solid outing, going 6 innings and giving up only one run while striking out six.  This game gives him a 2-2 record.

Our Instinct:  At the beginning of the season, much attention was given to the fact that Bumgarner lost some velocity on his fastball.  Almost 4 mph actually.   Today, his heater sat at about 92 mph, but he mixed in a slider and a change-up.  Plus, he pounded the zone with 72 of his 103 pitches being strikes.  Through his first four major league starts of 2010, Mad Bum has scored a 2.57 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 28 innings, only walking five.
