MIAMI - Madison Bumgarner started his second game of the season Monday night and showed a level of intensity that's in midseason form. After Bumgarner was removed in the sixth inning of the Giants' 7-5 loss to the Marlins, he was ejected by plate umpire Jeremie Rehak before he reached the dugout. Bumgarner wasn't thrilled with Rehak's ball-strike calls and stopped to speak with him a couple of times between innings. Bumgarner issued a four-pitch walk to his second-to-last batter, Justin Bour, and didn't appreciate two of the borderline pitches being called balls. So Bumgarner popped off, and...

Major League Baseball attendance is headed to its lowest average in 15 years. And it’s not only because of the historically bad weather that’s plagued the first third of the season. Strikeouts exceeded hits in a full calendar month for the first time in April and are on track to do so again in May. Five teams are on pace to lose 100 or more games in the same season for the first time.

Tomoyuki Sugano may be the best pitcher in the world who isn’t in the major leagues, but the 28-year-old Yomiuri Giants star intends to rectify that situation.

But when he had the chance, he instead chose the Giants, where his uncle Tatsunori Hara was then the manager.
