While Madison Bumgarner settles into a groove for defending World Series champion San Francisco, Matt Garza's season is running parallel with that of last-place Milwaukee. Bumgarner will try to win a third straight start and continue his dominance of the Brewers Tuesday night at Miller Park, while Garza needs to beat the Giants to avoid a winless May. Bumgarner (5-2, 2.84 ERA) improved to 4-1 with a 1.60 ERA in his last five starts after allowing seven hits in 6 1-3 innings of Thursday's 4-0 win over the Los Angeles Dodgers. The 25-year-old's .244 opponent batting average is up slightly from a .226 mark over the past three seasons, but the World Series MVP so many saw as a complete pitcher last fall might be progressing in another area.
