World Series Game 5, Giants Vs. Rangers: Cliff Lee, Tim Lincecum Still Peaches

I think it's official now - we do indeed have the pitcher's duel we missed out on in Game 1. Both Cliff Lee and Tim Lincecum look real good, and there are four innings in the books just an hour into the game.

In the top of the fourth, Lee returned to the mound and retired the Giants in order. Buster Posey was able to work a very long 11-pitch at bat that saw him drill a line drive just foul in right field, but in the end he grounded out. Cody Ross and Juan Uribe then made things easier - Ross striking out on four pitches, and Uribe flying out on three of his own. That ended the fourth for Lee.

So Lincecum jogged out to the hill and went right back to work. Michael Young worked a good at bat and sent a grounder back up the middle to lead off, giving the Rangers their first hit. But Lincecum was able to strand him on the bases. Josh Hamilton struck out on a slider down and well out of the zone. Vladimir Guerrero bounced into a fielder's choice to short. And Nelson Cruz - despite getting ahead 2-0 in the count - whiffed on a 2-2 slider to end it.
