Tim gets his first vic
Man, what a relief for Giants fans
He doesn't exactly dominate but he doesn't get hammered either. Once he got past the lousy first inning a week ago in SF, he looked pretty good to me.

This one was odd. Lincecum threw 108 pitches in five innings and issued five walks. Yet he also struck out eight. His fastball didn’t clock higher than 91.9 mph and he was mostly in the 88-89 range after the second inning. Yet he threw 70 heaters – “probably more fastballs than I ever have in a game” – and got the Mets to swing through nine of them.
Usually, Lincecum gets his whiffs on his changeup. But he threw 21 of those, and the Mets swung through two.
