The Giants hit three dingers, and they're pretty good when they do that.
The pitching matchup was Tim Lincecum vs. Jerome Williams. Does that sound any alarms for you? It should. That's the pitching prospect who helped the Giants to the promised land again and again and again, and he was facing the pitching prospect who, well, couldn't. Lincecum's trajectory is on a downward slope, whereas Williams's trajectory was on a downward slope, but once it got low enough, it stayed pretty level for a couple years. This was the game that was going to prove some sort of point about the mortality of young pitchers.
