SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Tim Lincecum pitched his second no-hitter against the San Diego Padres in less than
a year, allowing only one runner Wednesday and leading the San Francisco Giants to a 4-0 win.
Lincecum totally shut down the weakest-hitting team in the majors, striking out six and walking one. He
retired the final 23 batters after walking Chase Headley in the second inning.
The 30-year-old Lincecum (6-5) threw 113 pitches for this win. Last July 13 at San Diego, he threw 148
pitches while holding the Padres hitless.
The right-hander became the second pitcher in major league history to twice no-hit the same team. This
was the third no-hitter in the majors this year.
Lincecum went 2 for 3 with a walk and scored twice. Buster Posey got four hits, including a double, and
drove in two runs.
Ian Kennedy (5-9) allowed four runs on nine hits over 6 1/3 innings. He walked one and struck out eight.

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Victor Martinez and J.D. Martinez homered on consecutive pitches by different
Texas pitchers and the Detroit Tigers stretched their winning streak to six games, 8-6 over the Rangers
on Wednesday night.
The unrelated Martinez sluggers hit their homers in the fifth — Victor leading off against Joe Saunders
(0-4) before J.D. went deep on the first pitch thrown by reliever Shawn Tolleson. They also had
consecutive doubles when the AL Central-leading Tigers went ahead to stay with three runs in the first
inning.
Texas lost its seventh consecutive game, the longest current losing streak in the majors.
Anibal Sanchez (5-2) struck out five and allowed four runs in 5 1-3 innings. The right-hander is 5-0 in
his eight starts since coming off the disabled list May 18 after missing three weeks with a cut on his
right middle finger.

ninth before clinching his 16th save in 21 chances.
INDIANS 6, DIAMONDBACKS 1
PHOENIX (AP) — Corey Kluber gave Cleveland a much-needed quality start,

home run in the ninth. The last pitcher with five straight starts of 10 strikeouts was Minnesota’s Johan
