St. Louis fans better get used to seeing Tim Lincecum on the hill at Busch Stadium -- they'll probably be seeing him start the All-Star Game in a couple of weeks.
Lincecum dominated the Cardinals lineup on Monday night, going the distance in a 10-0 Giants victory. He gave up just two hits and struck out eight.
Lincecum has recorded complete games in three of his last four starts and his 2.37 ERA is second best in the National League.
The Giants recorded five extra base hits in the game, including a three-run home run by Travis Ishikawa in the fourth inning and a monstrous solo shot by Juan Uribe in the eighth.
Randy Johnson seeks his eight win of the season Tuesday night against St. Louis starter Chris Carpenter. Game time is set for 5:15 PM.
