Wednesday afternoon, the San Francisco Giants will send Madison Bumgarner (18 - 9, 2.91 ERA) to the hill as they square off against the Arizona Diamondbacks and Randall Delgado (3 - 4, 5.48 ERA). Bumgarner will make his 32^nd start as Delgado makes his 5^th start and 43 ^rd appearance.

Madison Bumgarner won his 5^th straight game his last time out. Bumgarner was stellar as he held the opposition scoreless over 7 innings, surrendering just 3 hits and 2 walks while striking out 9. Bumgarner hasn't lost a game since early August and has compiled a 7 -2 record in his last 10 outings. Last season, he posted a record of 13 - 9 with a 2.77 ERA in 31 starts.

In 2013, Bumgarner was 1 - 1 with a 1.39 ERA in 5 starts against Arizona. This season, he is 2 - 0 against the Diamondbacks in 3 starts.

Randall Delgado wasn't sharp in his last start and it led to a loss for the young righty. Delgado gave up 3 runs and 7 hits through 4 innings while walking 2 and striking out 3. He has had better performances than that but he has had some terrible outings too. He began the year in the starting rotation but after 2 rough starts, he was moved to the bullpen. Delgado is 1 - 2 in his 4 starts this season. Last season, he was 5 -7 with a 4.26 ERA in 19 starts and a relief appearance.

In 2013, Delgado was 1 - 1 with a 0.71 ERA in 2 starts against the Giants. He is 0 - 1 in 5 appearances against the Giants this season including the loss in his last start.
