It wasn't as bad as the MLB writer who got his computer smashed up on a foul ball, but San Francisco's good vibes in their stretch against National League Central talent came to a halt with Tim Lincecum struggling in an 8-3 loss.
Big Time Timmy Jim lasted just 4.1 innings after giving up eight earned runs off of six hits. His defense didn't help him, who gave up a season-high four errors in one game with plenty of struggles holding down the Reds' baserunners.
Even with all those errors, all eight runs that Cincinnati ran across the plate was tagged and earned by Lincecum.
On the flip side, Homer Bailey didn't have a no-hitter this time around, but he improves to 3-0 all time against the Giants after giving up five hits, three runs, and recorded seven strikeouts in six innings of work.
San Francisco went 0-4 with runners in scoring position and the offense died off completely after Cincinnati extended their lead to 8-3 after the fifth inning. Hunter Pence was a triple shy of recording the first cycle of his career.
Again, the only guy that had a worse night than the Giants was a writer up in the press box that got his computer smashed by a foul ball and his computer screen was cracked. Comcast Sportsnet Bay Area had full coverage of the event -- because the game kind of sucked -- and they were there for every flip out and cursory yell as he was rewriting his story on a different laptop.
