 More Giants NewsBruce Bochy removed Tim Lincecum after five innings and a season-low 72 pitches. San Francisco trailed 2-0 when Lincecum left, which led the Brewers to assume he was injured. "He's their ace, he's their guy," Milwaukee's Ryan Braun said. "He's been the best pitcher in the National League the last two years. I thought he was hurt. I didn't know what happened. I was surprised he came out." Lincecum was visibly upset in the dugout when Nate Schierholtz was called upon to pinch hit in his place in the fifth. Mike Fontenot followed Schierholtz with an RBI groundout that inning. Lincecum acknowledged he let his frustration show for everybody to see. "I don't think any pitcher in here wants to go five and dive. At the same time, I understand it," he said. "I was a little more heated than I usually get. The emotions got the best of me in that situation." |
