Tim Lincecum was racing with adrenaline all day awaiting his first start since June 27, 2015 against Colorado. When Lincecum took the mound for the Bees in Tacoma, Washington against the Seattle Mariners Triple-A affiliate the Tacoma Rainiers it was in front of many of his family members and friends since he grew up less than 30 minutes away from Tacoma in nearby Bellevue. He also played college baseball for the University of Washington.
So with all the stars aligned what did Lincecum do when he stepped on the mound? He pitched five innings allowing three hits and three runs while striking out five batters.
