San Diego Padres @ San Francisco Giants (game 2)

The second game of the series saw our star pitcher, Madison Bumgarner (centre, wearing the jacket), start for San Francisco.

He did not disappoint - except in one respect: everybody in the crowd was hugely disappointed when San Diego's Melvin Upton Jr. hit a single in the 8th inning, breaking up his bid for a perfect game (there have only been 23 of those in the last 135 years of play!)  Up until that point, MadBum had retired the first 23 batters he had faced.  He went on to retire the next 4 after Upton as well, to complete a 1-hit shut-out.
