Tim Lincecum was perfect in the first, even though his command was a little shaky. His command got better in the second, and he was even more perfect because of it.
Phillies Vs. Giants, NLCS Game 5: Tim Lincecum Perfect In Second
Up against the meat of the Philadelphia order, Lincecum disposed of the 4-5-6 on 14 pitches - ten of them strikes. He got Ryan Howard to swing and miss at an outside changeup. He caught Jayson Werth looking at a perfectly-placed low away fastball. And Jimmy Rollins finished it off with a groundout to first that didn't require Aubrey Huff to stray very far.
Into the bottom of the second, with the Giants still up 1-0. Roy Halladay needs to get himself into a groove right quick.
