An Even Dozen
Win!
Tim Lincecum was fantastic tonight: 8 innings pitched, one walk, 11 strikeouts and no runs allowed. From his first pitch, which had Jordan Schafer grounding out, to his final one, a curveball to Brian Bixler, The Freak had a solid rhythm going all evening. In the end it took 12 innings, and a single by Hector Sanchez, to send everyone home happy.
