MAJOR LEAGUES Bumgarner outduels Kershaw as Giants win Comment By Joe Resnick The Associated Press MailTribune.com By Joe Resnick The Associated Press Posted Apr. 29, 2015 at 12:01 AM By Joe Resnick The Associated Press Posted Apr. 29, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News LOS ANGELES — Madison Bumgarner pitched eight sharp innings in his fifth career matchup against Clayton Kershaw and batterymate Buster Posey homered, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 2-1 victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers on Tuesday night. Bumgarner (2-1) gave up a run and five hits, struck out nine and walked one while throwing 110 pitches. Last year's World Series and NLCS MVP is 3-1 lifetime against Kershaw, who was his mound opponent six nights earlier in San Francisco when neither got a decision in the Giants' 3-2 win. Santiago Casilla pitched a perfect ninth for his sixth save in seven chances. Kershaw (1-2) allowed two runs and seven hits over seven innings before he was lifted for a pinch-hitter. The reigning NL MVP and three-time Cy Young Award winner, coming off his fourth consecutive major league ERA title, was trying for his 100th regular-season victory. Kershaw was 1-2 with a 1.95 ERA in his four previous starts against Bumgarner. The Dodgers, playing without injured corner outfielders Carl Crawford and Yasiel Puig, had a starting outfield of rookie Alex Guerrero in left, rookie Kike Hernandez in center, and Scott Van Slyke in right. The trio was a combined 3 for 11. Guerrero took over for Carl Crawford, who was placed on the 15-day disabled list before the game because of a torn right oblique muscle. Regular center fielder Joc Pederson and first baseman Adrian Gonzalez were rested against the left-hander. So was left-swinging outfielder Andre Ethier, who has been playing regularly in place of Puig. Gonzalez is 4 for 35 against Bumgarner and Ethier is 3 for 24. Kershaw worked with runners on base in each of the first five innings. The Giants took the lead in the first when Angel Pagan lined a two-out double off the fence in left and scored on Posey's single. Posey, who came in with a .177 career average against Kershaw, ended an overall home run drought of 49 at-bats by driving the left-hander's first pitch of the fourth inning to left-center for his third of the season, helping end the Dodgers' eight-game home winning streak. The Dodgers responded in the bottom half with a leadoff single by Jimmy Rollins, followed by Hernandez's double off Pagan's glove in center field as he misjudged the ball on the warning track. Rollins scored one out later on a fielder's choice grounder by Howie Kendrick.
