At the time of this post, Madison Bumgarner has thrown five perfect innings against the Arizona Diamondbacks, and has taken Zack Greinke deep.
Check out Bumgarner’s rocket homer, which includes an excellent call by the great Jon Miller:

He’s also walked. So he’s 1-for-1 with a homer, walk, and has thrown five perfect innings on Opening Day.
It certainly didn’t take long into the 2017 season for Madison Bumgarner to play baseball like Madison Bumgarner.
UPDATE: Well, Bumgarner allowed three runs the next inning. BUT… he launched another BOMB to give the Giants the lead back. This is absolutely ridiculous:
Madison Bumgarner: 1st pitcher to hit 2 HR on Opening Day.
