The Mets and Giants entered Thursday's showdown in San Francisco knowing that runs would be at a premium. With Jacob deGrom facing Madison Bumgarner, even the slightest bit of offense could make the difference. So, when Bumgarner allowed a fourth-inning grand slam to Justin Ruggiano, things seemed dire -- a four-run deficit? Against a pitcher with a 2.54 ERA and mystical hair powers?
Don't worry, Bumgarner has an answer for that:
That's right: In the bottom of the inning, Bumgarner decided to take things into his own hands, clubbing a two-run homer that capped a five-run rally in San Francisco's 10-7 win. Feel free to slot him in at designated hitter more often, guys.
