The Texas native is 16-7 with a 1.54 ERA in 30 career starts against the Giants, including six complete games and five shutouts.
Bumgarner earned the win in his Sportsbook Day start versus Milwaukee despite battling flu-like symptoms. The 2014 World Series MVP allowed three runs and five walks over five innings.
