TIMMY!

Tim Lincecum scattered four hits over six innings and had three hits and three RBIs, leading the San Francisco Giants to a 9-0 victory over the sloppy Los Angeles Dodgers on Saturday. Lincecum (3-0) struck out seven and walked two. The two-time Cy Young winner has allowed just two runs over 20 innings in his first three starts. But it was at the plate where he made the biggest impression. Lincecum got all three of his RBIs against knuckleballer Charlie Haeger before the Dodgers got their first hit against the All-Star right-hander as the Giants built an early 5-0 lead. He had only three RBIs last season in 66 at-bats.

Great game, and more than made up for last night's fiasco.

What is this, the Day of Shutouts? Livo delivered an 8-0, four hit shutout today for the Nationals too.

ETA: Of course, Livo's was a complete game shutout, so nyah! ;)

Did Livo go 3 for 4 at the plate getting 3 RBIs in the process? I think not!

Nope, and I don't care. I'm just reveling in the fact that the Nationals aren't the worst team in baseball (or even in our division!) right now, for the first time in WAY too long. :)
