Lincecum dazzles to beat Pirates, Ks 15 - MLB - Yahoo! Sports
The fact that movies are longer than this start, says enough. Some where Mark Buherle is smiling.SAN FRANCISCO (AP)—Tim Lincecum(notes) looked like his old self, pitching a four-hitter and bouncing back from a rough outing with a career-high 15 strikeouts in the San Francisco Giants’ 4-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Monday night.
The reigning NL Cy Young Award (11-3) winner provided the Giants with a much-needed boost on the heels of a disappointing 3-7 road trip that saw them lose their wild card lead. The hard-throwing right-hander earned his fourth complete game this season and sixth of his career, finishing his 115-pitch gem in 2 hours, 6 minutes.
