Lincy Breaks Through

Tim Lincecum had a breakout performance last night, fanning 10 over 7 innings of two-bit ball. It's apropos that this showing came against the pitcher to whom he is most often compared -- Roy Oswalt. Oswalt had a nice evening as well, throwing 5 2/3 innings of no hit ball and striking out 6 before leaving the game with a 1-0 lead after 7. As an aside, the Giants eventually won in the 12th on an RBI infield hit off of the 1st base bag.

If you have MLB Gamecast, it's worth your time to go back and watch last night's game if you missed it. It was truly a sight to see.
