That’s his third double and fifth extra base hit of the of the season. The Giants lead the Nationals 1-0.

Update: Jeff Samardzija pinch ran for Bumgarner, and Samardzija scored on an error to make it 2-0. George Kontos starts the sixth inning trying to keep the no-hitter intact.

Update: Bryce Harper breaks up the no-hitter with a line-drive by the second baseman for a single.
