Tim Lincecum took a loss to the Phillies after allowing five runs in seven innings on Tuesday.

Lincecum gave up five hits and three runs in the first two innings. All were singles, and three of them stayed in the infield, though that makes Lincecum sound unluckier than he was. In truth, he got what he deserved tonight. It's encouraging that he's posted a much better K/BB ratio of late (he fanned seven and walked three tonight), but he's not dominating anyone.

Tim Lincecum pitched five innings and allowed five runs Wednesday against the Diamondbacks.

Lincecum went without walking a batter in a start for the first time since June 1, 2011 against the Cardinals. Oddly enough, he struggled in that one, too, giving up five runs in 6 1/3 innings. Lincecum struck out six tonight, but he allowed 10 hits, one of them a three-run homer to Cliff Pennington. In spite of the blip tonight, Lincecum's ERA should keep coming down if he continues to avoid the walk. He's issued six in his last four starts and walking 11 batters in his first two.

Tim Lincecum pitched seven innings of two-run ball and struck out nine in a loss to the Padres on Friday.

Lincecum took a loss, but he went seven innings for the first time since last Aug. 10 and struck out nine for the first time since July 14. Facing San Diego has helped, but he's definitely thrown better these last two starts than he did this spring and in his first couple of regular-season outings. The turnaround seemed to happen after a poor first inning in his April 14 start against the Cubs.

Tim Lincecum tossed 6 2/3 scoreless innings Saturday in the Giants' defeat of the Padres.

Some vintage form from Lincecum, who struck out eight batters and surrendered only four hits. It was his longest scoreless outing since last July 14. It's anyone's guess as to how the 28-year-old right-hander might fare in his next turn Friday night in San Diego, but with 23 strikeouts in 22 2/3 innings this season, he is certainly worth owning in standard mixed leagues.

Tim Lincecum was removed after allowing four runs in five innings Sunday against the Cubs.

All four runs came in the first on a pair of two-run homers from Starlin Castro and Nate Schierholtz. After that, Lincecum was very effective, allowing just three singles and walking none. He would have stayed in longer, except the Giants needed to hit for him down 4-3 with two on in the fifth. It worked out, too, as Nick Noonan delivered a two-run single in his place. As far as mixed bags go, today's was somewhat encouraging for Lincecum owners.

Tim Lincecum overcame an awful start to go six innings and allow six runs Tuesday against the Rockies.

Lincecum barely made it through a five-run second inning that started with a walk and an error. In all, he gave up three walks and two hits that inning. In his other five frames, he allowed a total of one walk and two hits. He also ended up striking out seven. So, while the ERA was ugly, it wasn't necessarily such a discouraging performance.

Tim Lincecum walked seven in five innings Wednesday, but he escaped with a win after allowing just a pair of unearned runs against the Dodgers.

Lincecum matched his career high for walks, which he had just established against this same Dodgers team last September. Still, he could have gotten away with all of them if not for a Hector Sanchez passed ball and an error by first baseman Buster Posey. Lincecum allowed three hits and struck out four. As poor as he's looked since the start of the spring, he hardly seems like a great bet for short-term success right now. Still, his upcoming schedule is about as kind as it gets: Rockies at home, Cubs in Chicago and Padres at home.

Tim Lincecum allowed two runs on three hits over four innings in his start Tuesday against the Rockies.

He finished with 68 pitches, three walks, and had just one strikeout. After being limited by a blister issue early in camp, Lincecum has labored through his last two starts. He isn't in any danger of not being ready for the start of the season and should open 2013 as the Giants' No. 3 starter.

Tim Lincecum labored Tuesday against the Padres in his first start in two weeks, allowing three runs on four hits and a walk over 2 1/3 innings.

It wasn't smooth, but Lincecum did strike out three and was clocked at 92-94 mph, which is a good sign. The righty had been sidelined with a blister issue but is back on track and will be ready to take his first turn in the rotation when the season begins.

Tim Lincecum (hand) declared himself ready to return after a 32-pitch simulated game Saturday.

Lincecum hasn't pitched since last month because of blister issues, but it shouldn't affect him going forward. The Giants have cleared him to make his next start Tuesday against the Padres.

Tim Lincecum (hand) will throw a simulated game Saturday instead of pitching in a Cactus League came.

Tim Lincecum (hand) expects to pitch Saturday.

Tim Lincecum (hand) was scratched from his scheduled start on Thursday.

Lincecum was scratched from a start over the weekend because of a blister on his pitching hand and apparently it's still giving him issues. He's scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Thursday, so if all goes well, he'll likely try to start in the next couple of days.
