Lincecum completed the inning before leaving the game to mild applause from a crowd of 5,643 at Cheney Stadium. After falling behind, 3-0, Lin-cecum gave up a one-out single in the second inning, then retired 10 consecutive batters before issuing a walk and hitting a batter in the fifth. The Angels are counting on Tim Lincecum to bolster their injury-riddled pitching staff. Tacoma Manager Pat Listach said that Lincecum looked the same as he did when Listach was coaching for the Chicago Cubs against Lincecum a few years ago. After making $18 million last season, Lincecum became a free agent last winter when the Giants elected not to retain him.
