Madison Bumgarner just missed clearing the fences his first time up to bat Friday night, hitting a sacrifice fly to the warning track in left field.
The pitcher left no doubt the second time he faced Colorado Rockies starter Jorge De La Rosa, helping his own cause by belting a grand slam into the left-field seats, giving the San Francisco Giants a 6-3 lead.
Bumgarner drove in a career-high five runs to overcome a shaky outing on the mound, sending the Giants to a 6-5 victory.
