MLB Playoffs: Madison Bumgarner Pitches Brilliant Game As Giants Flog Pirates In NL Wild Card Game To Get Crack At Nats

At Pittsburgh:

Maidson Bumgarner pitched a complete-game, four-hit and one-walk shutout while striking out ten batters as the San Francisco Giants demolished the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-0 on the road in Wednesday's National League Wild Card Game.  In the fourth inning, Brandon Crawford became the first shortstop in Major League Baseball history to hit a postseason grand slam home run.

The Giants will take on the Washington Nationals in a best-of-five divisional playoff series, set to start in the nation's capital on Friday.
