San Francisco Giants vs Milwaukee Brewers
8:10 PM ET, May 27, 2011
Miller Park, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Shaun Marcum has been the ace on a Milwaukee Brewers team that's recorded three straight sweeps at Miller Park while putting together the best home record in the major leagues.
The San Francisco Giants may have the answer for that in Tim Lincecum.
Coming off a dominant effort, Lincecum will take the mound for the Giants against Marcum, who seeks his NL-leading seventh win in the opener of a three-game set Friday night.
Lincecum (4-4, 2.06 ERA) is coming off a game manager Bruce Bochy said "has got to be right up there with his best performance." The right-hander pitched a three-hitter and struck out six in a 3-0 win over Oakland on Saturday.
Lincecum threw 133 pitches, the second-highest total of his career, but didn't seem fazed.
"I think it just goes back to having good rhythm throughout the game. Not expending yourself too much to allow yourself, if you get into a jam, to take it to another level," he said.
