Madison Bumgarner threw two bad pitches on the afternoon.

Bumgarner went eight innings, allowing five runs on six hits, walking not a single batter and striking out 11 and the San Francisco Giants defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 7-5 at Citizens Bank Park. It was Bumgarner’s seventh win of the season.

It was second straight win for the reigning World Champions after a five-game losing streak against the Atlanta Braves and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

Bumgarner gave up a grand slam to former teammate Jeff Francoeur and a solo home run to Andres Blanco.

Nori Aoki continues to hit well on the road, as he picked up three hits and drove in two runs and raised his batting average on the road .407, the best in the major leagues.

Once again, Santiago Casilla got the Phillies out in order in the bottom of the ninth inning to pickup his 17th save in 19 chances. It was the 10th loss in the last 12 games for the struggling Phillies.

After a 29 minute rain delay to begin the game, the Giants got to Phillies starter Severino Gonzalez early and often.

Angel Pagan drove in the first run of the game with a single, and then Brandon Belt hit a sacrifice fly to give the Giants 2-0 lead before the home-standing Phillies took the plate in the bottom of the first inning.

The Giants broke the game wide open in the top of the third inning, as they score four runs and chased Gonzalez from the game.

Bumgarner picked up two hits and a run batted in.
