TIP TOP TIM NO MORE

Tim Lincecum is far from his ace days as he takes the mound on Sunday night. The righty is 4-6 with a 4.70 ERA. He has given up 15 runs in his last three road starts against the Pirates, Rockies, and Diamondbacks. The Giants’ pitcher faced the Braves at home back on May 12th and gave up just two hits and three walks in seven innings while picking up a 5-1 win. Lincecum has been frustrating this season; he has six starts in which he allowed 2 earned runs or less. Those good outings have been mixed in with seven other starts where he allowed 4 runs or more.

JULIO IS JARRING HITTERS

Julio Teheran is 4-3 with a 3.62 ERA on the year for the Braves. He has struck out 58 while walking just 15 in 77 innings of work. The last time he was home, the righty nearly no-hit the Pirates. His next start was a rough one in San Diego as he gave up 5 runs and six hits in six innings. He beat the Giants in San Francisco back on May 9th. In that game, Teheran gave up 3 runs and seven hits striking out three while walking none. In his last 10 starts, Teheran has allowed six hits or more seven times.

INJURY REPORT

The Giants are a relatively healthy team. They have Angel Pagan and Pablo Sandoval on the DL. The Panda is expected to be activated around June 24th. They are also without Ryan Vogelsong who is dealing with a fractured right hand. Atlanta’s injury list is short too and about to be shorter with the return of Brandon Beachy on June 18th. He had Tommy John surgery last year. The bullpen is without Jonny Venters and Eric O’Flaherty who both underwent Tommy John this season.
