Madison Bumgarner has Clayton Kershaw's number.
The San Francisco Giants ace - who's also well-known for his abilities in the batter's box - took his Los Angeles Dodgers counterpart deep for the second time in his career Saturday.
Bumgarner, a two-time Silver Slugger winner, became just the 17th player and first pitcher to have hit multiple home runs off Kershaw, a fact that left the three-time Cy Young Award winner seething.

The home run was the 12th of Bumgarner's career, and moved him into a tie with Yovani Gallardo for the most long balls among active pitchers.
