Madison Bumgarner keeps Cardinals off base by any means necessary

The Giants ace continues to steamroll the Cardinals, and has now taken it to a literal level.

Using all the delicacy of Hawk in the Road Warriors' AWA days, Madison Bumgarner's tag-then-shove of Kolten Wong on his way to first worked both as a metaphor and a physical representation of how dominant he'd been against the defending NL pennant winners so far in Game 1. He's not let up a run in 26 consecutive postseason innings on the road (dating back to 2010), adding two innings to the record he set in the fifth frame of this game. And after getting out of a jam with runners at second and third in the bottom of the seventh, it doesn't look like he's stopping anytime soon. Somebody tell the Midnight Express to bring ice.
