SAN FRANCISCO -- The San Francisco Giants received six solid innings from Tim Lincecum and scratched together enough offense to emerge with a 6-2 victory Tuesday night over the archrival Los Angeles Dodgers, halting the National League West leaders' seven-game winning streak.
Lincecum yielded one run and five hits in six innings while outclassing Los Angeles starter Brett Anderson, who surrendered four of the Giants' runs and nine hits in four innings.
Justin Maxwell, a right-handed batter in the lineup specifically to face the left-handed Anderson, opened the scoring by coming home on Brandon Crawford's bunt single after drilling a two-out, second-inning triple.
