Madison Bumgarner Struggles On Saturday Against Rockies
4 years agoArizona Diamondbacks starting pitcher Madison Bumgarner had a rough outing on Saturday in Colorado, allowing seven runs — five earned — on eight hits with two strikeouts over six innings of work in a 7-6 loss. This was not the performance managers were hoping to see after he exited his last start early due to injury, but it should not have been too much of a surprise after he allowed five runs on eight hits and two walks over five innings in his last start at Coors Field earlier this year. It's been back-to-back rough starts for Bumgarner, but it appears that Coors Field had an impact on him Saturday. Managers should wait to see how he performs in his next start before deciding to hit the panic button on him.
