Washington Nationals vs San Francisco Giants
10:15 PM ET, June 6, 2011
AT&T Park, San Francisco, California
Tim Lincecum may be a two-time NL Cy Young Award winner, but he hasn't defeated the Washington Nationals in three years.
The San Francisco Giants ace is also trying to rebound from one of his worst performances of the season in the opener of this three-game series against the Nationals at AT&T Park on Monday night.
Since 2008, Lincecum (5-4, 2.59 ERA) leads the NL in wins (54) and the majors in strikeouts (845) while compiling a 2.80 ERA and limiting opponents to a .223 average.
Only one of those victories, however, have come against Washington (26-33), which has the worst record in baseball since 2008 at 213-331.
The hard-throwing right-hander last beat the Nationals on June 6, 2008, allowing one run in seven innings. He's 0-2 with a 5.50 ERA while striking out 19 and walking seven in 18 innings in three meetings since, and lost the latest April 29, when he yielded three runs and seven hits with seven strikeouts in seven innings while the Giants (33-26) were five-hit by Jason Marquis in a 3-0 defeat.
