Mo praises Bumgarner postseason finish:

NY Post: "Rivera said he enjoyed watching Madison Bumgarner work magic in Game 7 of the World Series against the Royals, with five shutout innings of relief after pitching a complete-game shutout three days earlier.

Bumgarner posted a 1.03 ERA this postseason, a number to which Rivera could relate. In 96 career postseason games, Rivera had a 0.70 ERA.

“It is amazing what [Bumgarner] did, because that is when it counts,” Rivera said. “He was determined to do whatever it takes within his power to help the team win, and he was the difference.”"
