Bumgarner’s 7-inning no-hitter won’t show up in record books

-

ATLANTA (AP) — Madison Bumgarner threw a seven-inning no-hitter, an achievemen­t that won't count in the Major League Baseball record book but completed a dominant day of Arizona Diamondbac­ks pitching for a 7-0 win over the Atlanta Braves and a doublehead­er sweep Sunday.

Bumgarner (2-2) struck out seven and walked none. The only Braves batter who reached base against him came on shortstop Nick Ahmed's throwing error in the second inning.

In the opener, Zac Gallen (1-0) pitched a one-hitter, allowing Freddie Freeman's sharp single to right-center field with one out in the sixth of a 5-0 win. This was the first time a team pitched two complete-game shutouts in a doublehead­er since Boston's Reggie Cleveland and Don Aase at Toronto on Sept. 5 1977 Arizona has won six of seven. Stephen Vogt and Kole Calhoun homered in the first game, Bryse Wilson (1-1) allowed four hits, including both home runs, in four innings. Drew Smyly (0-1) gave up six runs — five earned — over four innings in the second game, allowing homers to Pavin Smith, David Peralta and Eduardo Escobar homered.
