Pitchers. Who. Rake.
Sunday the balls are flying out at AT&T Park. After taking a 1-0 lead on Buster Posey RBI, Bumgarner gave up back-to-back solo shots in the 4th inning to Paul DeJong and Jose Martinez. He then decided it was time for a little bit of his own long-ball magic.

The towering shot to left was Bumgarner’s third home run of the season. He hit two in the season opener in Chicago before missing months of the season after the infamous dirt-bike incident.

At the time, MadBum’s dinger tied the game at two runs a piece. He went on to give up three runs (including a third home run of the game for the Cardinals) in the top of the 5th inning.
