Madison Bumgarner Bombs Pinch-Hit Double, Gets Pinch-Run For by Jeff Samardzija

Bruce Bochy got creative on Sunday.

In the fifth inning of a 1-0 game against the Washington Nationals, the San Francisco Giants skipper deployed two pitchers in non-pitching situations.

And it worked.

First, Madison Bumgarner pinch-hit for Matt Cain, who was throwing a no-hitter. The big fella bombed a double off the wall.

Then, fellow starter Jeff Samardzija pinch-ran for Bumgarner.

The 31-year-old scored when Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon made a throwing error on a Hunter Pence grounder.

George Kontos took the mound in the top of the sixth with a 2-0 lead.
