Giants Vs. Phillies, NLCS Game 6: Madison Bumgarner Escapes Bases-Loaded Jam
After Jeremy Affeldt pitched two perfect innings, Madison Bumgarner pitched the bottom of the fifth against the Phillies. He ran into trouble after one out, giving up a single to Jimmy Rollins and a double to Ryan Howard.
With two out, Jayson Werth was intentionally walked, and Bumgarner was able to elicit a ground ball to the mound from Shane Victorino to escape the bases-loaded jam. It was Bumgarner’s first relief appearance of 2010.
In the top of the sixth, the game is still tied, 2-2. Stay tuned to this StoryStream for further updates.
