The Giants give ace Tim Lincecum a big early lead at Coors Field, but the two-time Cy Young Award winner does not need all the help. He keeps the hot-hitting Rockies hitless until the 7th on his way to an 8 – 1 win. Colorado starter Esmil Rogers gives up 8 runs in 3 innings to remove any doubt about the day’s outcome, and the remaining tension is broken when Carlos Gonzalez singles with one out in the 7th. Lincecum leaves after giving up a run with two outs in the 8th, and Ryan Vogelsong gets the final four outs. Pat Burrell and Nate Schierholtz homer for San Francisco.
