ATLANTA — Madison Bumgarner definitely had no-hit stuff, even if the Major League Baseball record book said he didn’t.
Bumgarner threw a seven-inning no-hitter, an achievement that won’t officially count as a no-hitter but completed a dominant day of Arizona Diamondbacks pitching for a 7-0 win over the Atlanta Braves and a doubleheader sweep Sunday.
