Timmy Looking for First Win Tonight
Lincecum is looking to get win #1 tonight vs. Arizona, in a rematch from last week against Doug Davies. He didn’t get the win last Saturday but looked to be in Cy Young form as he allowed 5 hits over 8 innings and striking out a career-tying 13 K’s. Davis responded with 8 hits over 8 innings and getting the win.
The Giants visit Arizona on a 3 game win streak and should feel good as they took 2 of 3 from the D-backs last week. However they have lost 15 of their last 20 in AZ, and got swept last time they were there. AZ is also starting to feel a little better about themselves, as they just took 2 of 3 from Colorado.
Renteria is probably the hottest bat in the lineup right now. He’s 6 for his last 15, with 2 runs, 1 HR, and 5 RBIs. He has a really good history against Davis too. Edgar has 5 hits including 1 HR, and 2 walks in 11 career at bats against the D-backs starting pitcher. Molina has been swinging the stick pretty well as of late too. He’s 7 for his last 17, with 3 runs and 2 RBIs.

The Freak will get #1 tonight.
Win #1 has nothing to do with Lincecum and everything to do with the offense. I think there is a 95 percent chance that he will pitch well enough to win, the problem is the Giants scoring more that 2 runs is about 20 percent.
It will come tonight and I also say Pablo rises again and hits a bomb! The crappy part is how many more bad decisions will Boch make tonight?
