Lincecum Wobbly After 132-Pitch Outing
Tim Lincecum couldn’t outduel Livan Hernandez on Tuesday, giving up five runs in five innings in a no-decision against the Rockies. Lincecum gave up five hits, walked two and struck out six. It should come as no surprise he had a poor outing one start after he was left in to throw an MLB season-high 132 pitches. He still remains in the Cy Young race, however. Brandon Webb’s recent struggles have left the door wide open for Lincecum to establish himself as the Cy Young favorite. However, he may need to get to 18 wins to satisfy some. He’s currently 15-3 with a league-leading 2.60 ERA. Jake Peavy is second at 2.69. (Rotoworld, Rotowire)
