ATLANTA — Madison Bumgarner loves how the San Francisco Giants have returned to their winning ways with a tough part of the schedule coming up.
San Francisco is about to begin a month-long stretch that includes eight series against contending teams. Bumgarner likes his team’s chances.
“It’s getting about that time where we start hitting our stride,” he said, “and everything’s coming together for us.”
Bumgarner pitched into the eighth inning, Kelby Tomlinson drove in three runs and San Francisco beat the Atlanta Braves 6-1 on Wednesday night.
Matt Duffy added a two-run double and Hunter Pence had an RBI single for the Giants, who have won 16 of 21.
