Tim Lincecum extended his career-best scoreless innings stretch to 23 in San Francisco's 9-0 win over Houston on Saturday. Lincecum's recent hot streak could make him the starting pitcher for the National League in this month's All-Star Game. "It would mean a lot -- the hard work paid off," said Lincecum. "If I do happen to start, it will make up for the fact I didn't even make it to the field last year." The reigning NL Cy Young Award winner struck out nine and allowed three hits with two walks in seven innings.
