Bumgarner blew leads of 4-0 and 5-4, including a grand slam by Jordan Pacheco in a five-run fifth inning. The seven earned runs allowed were a season-high and fell one short of his career-high. The southpaw struck out four and walked a pair in the loss. Bumgarner has been money in seven out of his nine starts this season, so we're expecting better results next time out against the Nationals at home.

Ho-hum, just another multi-hit night for the hottest hitter in the game. Scutaro now has a 16-game hitting streak and has raised his batting average from .215 to .327 in the process. The 37-year-old is not going to provide much in the way of pop or speed, but keep running him out there in all formats until he cools down.

He's taking a seat against the left-hander Jorge De La Rosa. Brett Pill will make the start at first base and bat sixth.

Crawford has made a career out of hitting against the Rockies; he's at .348 with three homers and 17 RBI in 92 at-bats against Colorado, compared to .228 with nine homers and 69 RBI in 680 at-bats against everyone else. Fortunately, he has three more games at Coors Field coming up this weekend.

All of the runs came on homers: Todd Helton and Wilin Rosario hit back-to-back jacks in the second, while Wilin Rosario followed with a three-run shot in the third. Cain ended up striking out six and walking two. Tonight was a setback as far as his ERA is concerned, but only a little one.

Giants manager Bruce Bochy was considering replacing Vogelsong and his 8.06 ERA, but he'll give him at least one more shot. "This guy has done a lot," the skipper said. "He's earned some things, including a longer leash." The fact that the Giants' best option to replace Vogelsong is likely long reliever Chad Gaudin surely played into Bochy's decision. Vogelsong will obviously be a sketchy fantasy play Monday.

Pagan has had a subpar season thus far by his standards, but he's still contributing by getting on base and scoring runs. The outfielder should start to steal more bases and hit for a higher average as the season wears on.
