On Tuesday night, Madison Bumgarner (18-9) will be looking to extend his undefeated streak to eight games when he and the San Francisco Giants face Zack Greinke (15-8) and the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Last Wednesday, Madison Bumgarner finished with a no decision against the Arizona Diamondbacks after pitching six pretty good innings. He allowed just two runs on seven base hits in that start while striking out six hitters and walking two. Bumgarner has a very good 2.91 ERA this season and he has struck out 214 batters in 210 innings.

Dodgers veteran Juan Uribe has eight hits in 27 at-bats against Bumgarner with a double, a home run and three RBI. First baseman Adrian Gonzalez is just 4-for-32 against him with no walks and seven strikeouts.

All-Star Zack Greinke gave up four runs in just five innings to the Chicago Cubs on the road last week and finished with a no decision. The right-hander allowed nine base hits in that game and struck out five batters while walking one. Greinke now has a 2.76 ERA after that game and he has only walked two batters per nine innings this season.

Giants outfielder Michael Morse is 4-for-14 against Greinke in his career with a home run and three RBI. Shortstop Brandon Crawford has just one hit in 12 at-bats against him with no walks and six strikeouts.
