Giants Send Bumgarner To the Mound In Series Finale

After a crushing defeat in extra innings last night, the Giants will try to rebound against the Diamondbacks with Madison Bumgarner on the mound.

Bumgarner, who gave up four runs in four innings against the Cubs on Friday, looks to snap a string of bad starts by Giants' starting pitchers. This string of dreadful starts began a week ago in Houston. Since, Giants' starters have amassed a 7.88 ERA, and no pitcher during that stretch has gone more than 6.1 innings.

The Diamondbacks will send Trevor Cahill to the bump. The former Athletic is 9-11 with a 4.02 ERA this season.
