Lincecum Pitches a Gem: Giants Lose
Lincecum sacrifice bunts awkwardly but successfully moving a player to second
For the first 8 innings we watched a fabulous ballgame between the Giants and D-backs. Lincecum was on his game, mowing down the D-back rotation in record time. Doug Davis pitched equally well, though his game was slower and more deliberate. Too bad the Giants stranded players nearly every inning. Too bad Wilson came in on the 9th and allowed 2 D-backs to score. The Giants had no comeback in them; they were mowed down 1-2-3. That last inning was the game that I'm used to seeing with the Giants this year - no offense, no thrill, ho-hum. Come on Giants - wake up!
