Phillies Vs. Giants, NLCS Game 5: Tim Lincecum Continues To Roll

If you can overlook that ugly top of the third, Tim Lincecum has really thrown quite the strong game.

The top of the sixth extended Lincecum's streak to 11 consecutive retired batters, as he needed 13 pitches to work another 1-2-3. Chase Utley grounded out on a 1-2 count. Ryan Howard struck out for the third time in three at bats. And Jayson Werth fell behind 0-2 before flying out to Andres Torres in center.

The score remains 3-2 Phillies, and it appears that Lincecum should be good for at least another inning, and possibly two. Roy Halladay needs to keep the Giants off the board.
