SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Madison Bumgarner's pitching line dazzled everybody except himself.
San Francisco's Opening Day starter worked six innings, an unusually high total for this juncture of Spring Training, in Wednesday's 7-4 Cactus League victory over the Los Angeles Angels. Bumgarner allowed one hit, Nolan Fontana's third-inning single. Bumgarner's efficiency with his pitches -- he threw approximately 70 -- enabled him to record quick outs, such as the popup he induced from Yunel Escobar on the game's first delivery. This, in turn, kept Bumgarner in the game longer.
"You look at a game like today's and you think he's ready," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
