How long is Tim Lincecum going to last in Game 4?
Lincecum settles down in 3rd inning, still 2-1 Cardinals
He threw 25 pitches in the first inning, and gave up two runs.
He threw 19 pitches in the second inning, and -- thanks to a questionable stolen-base attempt that became the first out in the inning -- escaped without giving up another run.
He threw eight pitches in the third inning, and set down the Cardinals in order; granted, the second out came when Angel Pagan made a leaping catch of Yadier Molina's drive in deep center field.
But at least it's a positive trend for Lincecum. Yes, it's Cardinals 2, Giants 1 after three innings. But at least it looks like Lincecum might leave only three or four innings for the bullpen.
