SAN FRANCISCO -- Tim Lincecum felt he got a little "soft-crazy" with his pitch mix on Saturday night. The result? The Braves hit him hard.
Lincecum spent most his night pitching out of the stretch and didn't make it through the fifth as the Giants lost 8-0 in a rare lackluster May game. The Braves put eight hits and four runs on Lincecum's line, equaling the number of runs he allowed in his first five home starts this season.
"Those guys put good swings on good pitches, and at that point you have to tip your cap," Lincecum said.
