The Franchise Does It Again
Thank god for Tim Lincecum, who is going to give us something to watch all season long. The highly touted youngster, nicknamed "the Franchise" by his teammates, pitched yet another gem, ending the Giants awful five game losing streak. This kid is the stopper, and we're already making his plane reservation for July's All-Star game in New York. Saturday's line was amongst his best ever - 8 innings, 4 hits, 2 runs, 8 strikeouts and one walk. Unfortunately, those two runs bumped the ERA up to a whopping 1.61. Lincecum is now leading the league in strikeouts, while his ERA puts him in second, and his win total ranks third. He is something special and is going to be fun to watch for years to come.
On Saturday, Lincecum got something few Giants pitchers have gotten all year - run support. The Giants scored 8 runs on the strength of Aaron Rowand and Randy Winn homers, along with Dan Ortmeier's two RBIs.
