Madison Bumgarner has been the most reliable pitcher for the Giants this season, and it showed again Thursday afternoon.

The left-hander tossed seven innings and gave up only a run on four hits while striking out 10 hitters as the Giants took down the New York Mets, 2-1, at Citi Field to come away with the three-game series.

Bumgarner got the runs he needed in the fourth inning, as Juan Perez and Ehire Adrianza each knocked in a run.

In the bottom of the fourth, Bumgarner gave up an RBI single to Daniel Murphy, but he was able to limit the damage, and that would be the only real trouble he would be in for the rest of the game.

Now usually we would say that the Giants got out of town with the series win, only if they got out of town. See, the Giants will go to another part of New York City to start a three-game series against the Yankees at Yankee Stadium.
