Bonds homerless as Lincecum, Giants blank Brewers

<h3>SAN FRANCISCO 8, MILWAUKEE 0</h3>MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- With all eyes on Barry Bonds and hispursuit of the all-time home run record, rookie starter TimLincecum stole the show on Saturday.


Bonds walked twice - once intentionally - to remain two homersshy of tying Hank Aaron's mark, but Lincecum pitched eightshutout innings as the San Francisco Giants blanked theMilwaukee Brewers, 8-0.


Bonds, who rarely starts a day game after a night contest, went0-for-2 with a strikeout before being pulled for a pinch runnerin the eighth inning. Bonds is now 1-for-12 against the Brewersthis season and 0-for-6 in this series.


Lincecum (5-2) scattered four hits and struck out eight to claimhis third consecutive win. The 23-year-old has allowed justfour earned runs in his last five games and has struck out 41over that span.


Reliever Jack Taschner got the final three outs to preserve thewin for the Giants.


Pedro Feliz provided all the offense the Giants would need inthe second inning when his single plated Ryan Klesko. For goodmeasure, Feliz added a two-run homer in the fourth, his 14thblast of the season, for some breathing room.


Feliz has gone 9-for-19 with two homers and six RBI during theteam's current five-game road trip.


The Giants added insurance runs in the ninth on run-scoringsingles by Dave Roberts and Randy Winn and a bases-clearingdouble by Ray Durham.


Brewers starter Dave Bush (8-8) pitched well in defeat, allowedthree runs on six hits in six innings and striking out seven.

 

Bonds homerless as Lincecum, Giants blank Brewers

<h3>SAN FRANCISCO 8, MILWAUKEE 0</h3>MILWAUKEE (Ticker) -- With all eyes on Barry Bonds and hispursuit of the all-time home run record, rookie starter TimLincecum stole the show on Saturday.


Bonds walked twice - once intentionally - to remain two homersshy of tying Hank Aaron's mark, but Lincecum pitched eightshutout innings as the San Francisco Giants blanked theMilwaukee Brewers, 8-0.


Bonds, who rarely starts a day game after a night contest, went0-for-2 with a strikeout before being pulled for a pinch runnerin the eighth inning. Bonds is now 1-for-12 against the Brewersthis season and 0-for-6 in this series.


Lincecum (5-2) scattered four hits and struck out eight to claimhis third consecutive win. The 23-year-old has allowed justfour earned runs in his last five games and has struck out 41over that span.


"I'm just kind of feeding off the good things that have happenedto get me over that bad hump of starts," Lincecum said. "I'mcoming out with a little bit of arrogance, whatever happens,happens."


Since being called up on May 6, Lincecum has become the team'smost dominant strikeout pitcher. Despite having five fewerstarts than the rest of the rotation, Lincecum leads the teamwith 95 strikeouts.


"He's gotten better and better each start, he's using all hispitches," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "He tried to powerhis way through lineups more than he should have a few times,now he'll throw any pitch at any time."


Reliever Jack Taschner got the final three outs for the Giants.

Pedro Feliz provided all the offense the Giants would need inthe second inning when his single plated Ryan Klesko. For goodmeasure, Feliz added a two-run homer in the fourth, his 14thblast of the season, for some breathing room.


"He (Feliz) got us going his first two times up and that homerun was huge," Bochy said. "Hopefully, it's starting to clickhere."


Feliz has gone 9-for-19 with two homers and six RBI during theteam's current five-game road trip.


"I've felt much better the last week, I've been working hard,"Feliz said. "I got the green light (in the fourth inning), gota good pitch to hit and hit it in the right spot."

The Giants added insurance runs in the ninth on run-scoringsingles by Dave Roberts and Randy Winn and a bases-clearingdouble by Ray Durham.


Brewers starter Dave Bush (8-8) pitched well in defeat, allowedthree runs on six hits in six innings and striking out seven.

"If I'm pitching and giving up ground balls, I like my chances.I limited the damage," Bush said. "Obviously, the home run isthe one that hurt us."


The Brewers maintained their 2 1/2-game lead in the NationalLeague Central because the Cubs lost to the Diamondbacks atWrigley Field.


"You go through these streaks, you've just got to keep pushingand hope you get through it soon," Brewers manager Ned Yostsaid.
