Madison Bumgarner has thrown 6 scoreless innings

And on the rare occasion he's had to help himself defensively, he's done just that.

Madison Bumgarner is doing it all on the mound for the Giants in Game 1 of the World Series against the Royals in Kansas City.

Bumgarner is through six shutout innings and has struck out five batters while walking only one. He's not giving up a lot of solid contact, but when he does, he's helping himself by making plays like this:

Bumgarner now has 21 scoreless innings to start his #WorldSeries career, 2nd all-time behind Christy Mathewson (28). #SFGiants
