Tim Lincecum has a good night in shutting out the Mets, 2 – 0, at Citi Field. He fans 12 batters in 7 innings for the 29th double-digit strikeout game of his career. That total is the most ever by a Giants pitcher, overtaking Hall of Famer Christy Mathewson who set the previous mark back in the days the franchise played in New York.

Zack Greinke finally makes his debut with the Brewers after being sidelined by a broken rib sustained in the off-season, but his opponent on the mound, Tim Hudson, steals the show in the Braves’ 8 – 0 win, pitching a one-hitter in the second game of a doubleheader. The Braves also win the first game, 8 – 3, as Nate McLouth reaches bases in all 8 of his plate appearances on the day, going 5 for 5 with three walks and a homer in the two games.
