Phillies Vs. Giants, NLCS Game 5: Tim Lincecum Perfect In First

We're underway in San Francisco, as the Giants look to put the Phillies away in five games an advance to the World Series. And the top of the first couldn't have gone much better for the hosts.

Tim Lincecum came out and fell behind leadoff batter Shane Victorino 2-0 before inducing a pop up. Lincecum then fell behind Placido Polanco 3-1 before getting him to fly out to Andres Torres in center. And in closing, Lincecum threw a first-pitch strike to Chase Utley, and wound up inducing a weak grounder to second.

Lincecum threw six strikes and six balls in the inning, but he went through the Phillies 1-2-3, and now it's Roy Halladay's turn in the bottom half.
