PHOENIX — Madison Bumgarner pitched five scoreless innings to win his first game for Arizona in his ninth and final start this season, and the Diamondbacks beat the Colorado Rockies 11-3 to close disappointing years for both teams.
Bumgarner, a former World Series MVP for San Francisco, left the Giants as a free agent for an $85 million, five-year contract to pitch in the desert.
Arizona finished last in the NL West at 25-35, one game ahead of Colorado, with the Rockies finishing up at 26-34.
Colorado started the season 11-3 before a disappointing finish that saw Jon Gray, Nolan Arendao and David Dahl all land on the IL.
