SAN FRANCISCO -- You will excuse the poor San Diego Padres if they did not weep for the end of the Tim Lincecum era in Giants history. He no-hit them twice, after all.
You will also excuse the Padres if they weep when they contemplate the Johnny Cueto era in Giants history.Cueto made his third start of the season against the Padres Monday night. For the third time, he went the distance in a two-hitter. And that doesn't begin to describe how easy he made it look in the Giants' 1-0 victory at AT&T Park.The Giants received the winning run in the ninth when pinch hitter Hunter Pence threw his bat in disgust on a pop-up and ended up in a celebratory scrum.
