Lincecum shaky in Giants’ win
Travis Ishikawa hit a three-run triple, Aaron Rowand had three RBIs and the San Francisco Giants overcame Tim Lincecum’s struggles for a 10-6 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers on Tuesday.
Rowand, Bengie Molina and Randy Winn homered for the Giants, whose 12-hit battering of Milwaukee’s pitching made up for the shortest start of Lincecum’s career. The National League Cy Young Award winner made it through only three innings, yielding three runs, four hits and three walks.
Lincecum, 24, struck out five after leading the majors in strikeouts last year. But the right-hander never appeared comfortable while laboring through 78 pitches.
