- Some pitchers would be ecstatic to throw a complete game shutout in a wildcard elimination showdown but it was just another night at the office for San Francisco ace Madison Bumgarner on Wednesday. The left-hander gave up just four hits in the road game as the Giants beat the New York Mets 3-0 on Conor Gillaspie's three-run homer in the top of the ninth inning to keep alive their hopes of a fourth World Series in seven seasons. The laconic Bumgarner, a North Carolina farmer who still lives on his 140-acre (56-hectare) property in the off-season, could hardly have taken the stellar performance more in his stride.
