The ugly five game losing streak finally ended as the Giants won a close one, 5-4, in the sad, half empty confines of the Phillies' Citizens Bank Park. Homers were the key to this one and we did a little bit better in that regard as Buster Posey's seventh inning solo shot was the difference.
Tim Lincecum was the winner (6-3) but it would be a stretch to say that he pitched well. It is, however, safe to say thathe was considerably better than Jerome Williams and that is all that mattered in the end. Tim survived 6 innings, giving up 4 runs on five hits (including 2 more homers) and 2 walks.
