Well, it's summer and summer equals baseball. And for SF Giants' fans, it is summer games at AT&T Park on the San Francisco's waterfront. Tonight, 2 time Cy Young award winner, Tim Lincecum, was on the mound in San Diego for game two of the series. After winning decisively last night 10-1, the Giants started out with runs early.
Lincecum, with a command of his repetoire of pitches, started striking out the Padres with a mix of confusing offerings called by catcher, Buster Posey. Padres hitters were swinging through many curve balls and change ups. He finished with 13 K's for the night, four walks, and no runs. His pitch count rose above 100 and coach Bruce Bochy and pitching coach Dave Raghetti watched developments closely. When it became apparent that a complete game , no hitter was possible, like the fans in attendance, the team focused on each and every pitch and out. Hunter Pence make a great catch of a potential hit late in the game. Pablo Sandoval also contributed a fine defensive play at third base, throwing a strike across the diamond to throw out the batter.
This was the 15th franchise no hitter, in 131 years of their history. A memorable night.
Congrats Tim Lincecum!
