While old man Barry Bonds went 0 for 2 to keep everyone waiting for #754, young man Tim Lincecum pitched another outstanding game for the Giants. He threw 8 scoreless innings with 8 strikeouts, allowing just 4 hits and 1 walk as the Giants beat the Brewers for the second straight game in Milwaukee 8 to 0.

Lincecum improved his record to 5-2 with a 3.96 ERA. He has 103 strikeouts in 94.1 innings this season.

Most impressively he is 3-0 in his last 5 starts with only 4 runs allowed in 34.1 innings, that's a 1.05 ERA. He also has 41 strikeouts against 14 walks during those 5 starts.

After a sketchy period in June, Tim Lincecum is now living up to the huge hype placed upon him prior to his arrival in San Francisco.
