With Game one shaping up to be one of the best pitching duels of the postseason with Tim Lincecum facing off against Cliff Lee, the Giants came out swinging, roughing up Lee for seven runs (six earned) in 4.2 innings. Reliever Darren O'Day replaced Lee and gave up a BOMB to Juan Uribe that put the Giants up 8-2 before the fifth ended.
The "Friek" came out firing after SF gave him a six run lead, striking out Vlad and Nelson Cruz before walking Kinsler and giving up a RBI double to Molina. Mitch Moreland then proceeded to drill Lincecum in the leg with a line drive, the second time he was hit in the game. David Murphy would make it an 8-4 game with a RBI single into right field. That single knocked Lincecum out of the game after 5.2 innings pitched with two on and two out.
Castilla would strike out Andrus to end the vistor half of the sixth and stop the Texas threat.
Both clubs would go quietly before the Giants tacked on a couple of runs in the eighth to seal the game.
Game two is tomorrow night when Matt Cain will take the hill, opposed by C.J. Wilson. Game time is 7:57.
