Cahill Silences Giants' Bats in 6-2 Loss

The Giants fell behind early, and didn't have another comeback in them to pull even, falling 6-2.

Madison Bumgarner allowed four runs over 6.1 innings. With Bumgarner only going six, a Giants' starting pitcher has not pitched at least seven innings since last Tuesday.

Arizona got to Bumgarner early. Miguel Montero singled home a run in the first inning. John McDonald collected an RBI in the fourth inning. And what ultimately pulled Bumgarner from the game was Aaron Hill's RBI double in the fifth inning. Jean Machi wasn't able to stop the bleeding either.

Machi inherited Bumgarner's fourth earned run, and also allowed a run charged to himself on Paul Goldschmidt's RBI single.

The Giants looked to be on the verge of coming back again in the seventh. Brandon Belt drove two home with an RBI single in the seventh frame, but Ryan Theriot grounded into a double play to put the comeback to sleep.

Bumgarner has now allowed eight runs in his last 10.1 innings, and he hasn't won a game since August 20th.
