Club Record; Pitcher Pinch-Hits For Pitcher & Gets Pinch-Run For By Pitcher
Matt Cain, who had tossed five innings of no-hit ball, had to be removed in the bottom of the fifth due to an elevated pitch count. In doing so, the San Francisco Giants sent Madison Bumgarner to the plate to pinch-hit, and he lined a double off the right-field wall. After rumbling into second, Bumgarner was then replaced by another pitcher, Jeff Samardzija who was inserted as a pinch runner, and later scored. In all, a pitcher pinch-hit for a pitcher, and was later pinch-run for by another pitcher.
