SF Giants’ Tim Lincecum no-hits Padres — again
By Henry Schulman
Anyone who understands the Giants in the last decade and a half knows the five starting pitchers must be the ones to take charge and lead them out of the darkness of the past two weeks and back to the promised land.
On a cool, overcast afternoon at AT&T Park on Wednesday, Tim Lincecum commandeered the leader’s baton, marched to the front of his brigade and, for the second time in less than a year, threw a no-hitter against the San Diego Padres.
In a 4-0 victory that the Giants absolutely needed after the Padres took the series’ first two games, Lincecum became the second Giant to throw two no-hitters. The other was Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson (1901 and 1905).
Lincecum threw the 16th no-no in franchise history, the eighth in the San Francisco era and the third at AT&T Park, following Jonathan Sanchez in 2009 and Matt Cain’s perfect game in 2012.
